US Open 2025: Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo men's singles first round match preview

Third seed Alexander Zverev will take on Alejandro Tabilo in the first round of the US Open 2025.

Following his runner-up finish to Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open, Zverev's form took a hit. He eventually wrapped up the initial hardcourt swing with a fourth-round finish at the Miami Open. The clay swing started on a disappointing note for him, failing to win a match at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Tabilo, on the other hand, lost his first six matches of the season. He snapped his losing skid by making the second round at Indian Wells, and he did the same in Miami. He won back-to-back matches for the first time at the Monte-Carlo Masters, including an upset win over Novak Djokovic.

Alexander Zverev Current Form

Alexander Zverev has been one of the most consistent performers in Grand Slams in recent years, although that consistency has not yet translated into the elusive maiden Slam title he has long been chasing.

Zverev achieved seven consecutive second-week appearances in Grand Slams starting with the US Open 2023, but that streak came to an end at Wimbledon a few weeks ago, where he was defeated in the first round by Arthur Rinderknech in a five-set match.

He has never suffered back-to-back first-round exits in Slams and will be aiming to maintain that streak when he faces Alejandro Tabilo in the first round at the US Open this Tuesday.

Alejandro Tabilo Current Form

Alejandro Tabilo has struggled with form and fitness issues, which have affected both his performance and results, causing a drop from his top-20 ranking in 2024 to outside the top 100.

Tabilo took some time off the tour and returned only during the US Open series last month, but he has struggled in every match since. His most recent match ended in a loss to a non-top-500 player, Dhakshineswar Suresh, in the Winston-Salem qualifiers.

Tabilo has never faced a top-10 player in a Grand Slam, reflecting his tendency to exit early at this stage. In 2025, he has won only one match in Slams, defeating Roberto Carballes Baena at the Australian Open.

Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo: Match Prediction

Alexander Zverev to win in straight sets. Zverev has weathered some ups and downs this year, though he seems to be in good form heading into the US Open. He has a 19-6 record on hardcourts this year, with eight of those wins coming in the lead-up to the season's final Major. He's a former finalist here, going down to Dominic Thiem in the 2020 final.

Tabilo won a couple of titles last year but has struggled to string together some wins this year. He has a 5-12 record for the season, with a 2-6 record on hardcourts. He was ranked in the top 25 at the start of the year and has since dropped out of the top 100.

Aside from his first-round exit on his US Open debut in 2015, Zverev has cleared the opening hurdle every year since then. Considering Tabilo's poor form, he's unlikely to snap the German's streak in New York.
