US Open: Alexander Zverev vs. Jack Sock 9/4/21 Tennis Prediction

Alexander Zverev vs Jack Sock

Alexander Zverev meets Jack Sock in the third round of the 2021 US Open on Saturday, September 4th 2021. Who will make their way into the fourth round?

Will we see the Jack Sock of old get big wins under his belt against big name players as we all used to love to watch, or will Alexander Zverev show the American how much the level of quality has improved amongst the youngsters and that he is not a beast against anyone?

Jack Sock had to fight right until the wire against Alexander Bublik in the second round, beating the always tough and trick-shot loving player in 5 sets 7-6/6-7/6-4/4-6/6-3. Jack Sock has been getting some good matches under his belt this summer and it is great to see because he has always struggled with injuries and consistency over the last couple of years, so him becoming a mainstay again in tournaments is exactly what we want to see. However, is his current level enough to get a win against the world no.4 and one of the favourites for the title in New York?

Alexander Zverev is just on another level at the moment, cruising through all of his opponents as he gets himself ready for big matches further down the line in New York. Alexander dominated against Albert Ramos-Vinolas, beating the Spaniard in 3 sets 6-1/6-0/6-2. Alexander is a player who has improved so much over the last few years, and he is definitely worthy of a Grand Slam if he continues to play at this level, but he will know he has to overcome Jack Sock who he has a losing record against.

This is going to be the 4th meeting between both players, with Jack Sock having won 2 of their 3 prior encounters. Alexander will know that he has a losing record and he will want to set it straight here. Jack beat Zverev when he used to be at his peak, but now he is a shadow of his former self and he is working hard to get back close to it. However, even that will not be enough now against someone of the quality of Zverev, especially with his form over the last 2 months.
