Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

Sat Oct 17, 4:00 AM UTC
Top pick: Alexander Zverev -3.5 (they must win by 4 or more games)+112

LEAN — about a 5 in 10 chance by our numbers

Zverev has a strong serve and powerful groundstrokes that can trouble Fokina, especially on his home court.

How we pick these games

Our model looks at each team's recent form, injuries, rest and the price on offer, and works out how likely each result is. When its number says a bet is more likely to land than the price suggests, the bet makes our list. For each game we show the one main-line bet it likes most. HIGH means it lands about 6 or more times in 10 by our numbers. LEAN means about 4 to 6 times in 10. LONG-SHOT means less than 4 in 10: a bigger payout and a smaller chance. No pick is a sure thing.
