This is the 3e time that the two champions will face each other and everyone remembers their fantastic duel last year in the same room with a crazy atmosphere.
Ugo had chances but Zverev, very calm, was able to let the storm pass to win at the last minute: 6–4, 6–7(3), 7–6(5).
This Sunday, this scenario can of course happen again but the setting is completely different since it is about lifting the trophy.
On a physical level, it is clear that Zverev is fresher because Ugo spent a lot of energy during this week and the tank can quickly empty against Sascha who sets the pace and real rallies. We will therefore have to see if the Frenchman will be able to shorten the exchanges and not get trapped by the German player's network.
Zverev is Karen Kachanov multiplied by 3 and we clearly saw that Ugo had very difficult times against the Russian. Moreover, the outcome of the duel was completely truncated with Karen's injury.
Zverev is therefore the logical favorite. Moreover, even if the public can play a role, it will be minimal because the German is used to so-called hostile atmospheres.
Humbert will therefore have to be as precise as against Carlos Alcaraz to achieve a new feat. Suffice to say that he will have to make the perfect match.
