The last 2 quarterfinals on the men’s table are played tomorrow morning, and we come with a tip from quarter 3, between the Swiss Stan Wawrinka and Alexander Zverev, which is scheduled for the third day of the day at Rod Laver Arena and will start in around 05:30, Romania time. More details, but also the prognosis offered, in the following.

Stan Wawrinka: Team shape, news and statistics

◾️Stan Wawrinka did not start this tournament well. Sure, there were only wins so far and implicitly the presence in the quarter-finals of the competition, but the Swiss was like a diesel car. Wawa had to work in the first round against Dzumhur, so that in the second round he would actually fight against the veteran Seppi, when he needed a decisive set to prevail.
◾️But in the last 2 laps, Wawrinka showed another game and remembered that player who made the finals at the Australian Open, French Open or US Open.
◾️It is true, in round 3, against Isner, Wawa didn’t get too tired, taking advantage of Isner’s withdrawal, but in the match with Medvedev Stan showed a solid game, especially in the last 2 sets, when he managed to dominate Russian who has impressed the tennis world for the last 7 months.
◾️The service, Stan’s fantastic trademark lapel or the destructive forehand worked as it used to and I think the Swiss even has chances in the quarterfinals against another fit player at the moment, Sascha Zverev.
◾️Although he is leaving with a second chance, Stan has the experience to get ahead of Alexander.
◾️Obviously, it will not be an easy match, but I am convinced that if Wawrinka plays the same way in the last 2 sets against the Russian, he will be able to reach the Melbourne aces.

Alexander Zverev: Team shape, news and statistics

◾️Alexander Zverev became the top 10 player after the really disastrous start.
◾️The German was “destroyed” in the first matches of the year by Shapovalov, Tsitsipas or De Minaur, who made the German a modest player and could not be found.
◾️There were even tears at one point for Sascha in the match with Tsitsipas, when the Greek was playing game after game and the German seemed powerless.
◾️In Melbourne, however, things were completely different.
◾️Sascha has not given up the set so far and seems determined to enter the semifinals to check his best performance at a Grand Slam.
◾️So far, the attendance in the quarters of the last two editions of Roland Garros and the presence in the quarters of this edition in Melbourne are the best results from a great slam tournament for the Germans.
◾️As I said, no set lost by Alexander, but that will overtake a player in form in the quarterback. Of course, in the eighth German passed another player in great shape and who had already ticked 2 tournaments this year, Andrey Rublev.
◾️The Russian, however, showed signs of weakness in the match with Goffin, when he was led on several occasions and also managed to win the match against the Belgian.
◾️It was a pretty clear success for Sascha, who will now have a much more difficult opponent. A match is announced, which I think the details will decide the winner of this quarter final.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Stan Wawrinka vs Alexandr Zverev

A match is announced for good. Wawrinka and Zverev have shown the highest quality tennis in the last matches and I think the match is open to any result.
However, if the Swiss will evolve against the German as in the last 2 sets against Daniil Medvedev I am almost convinced that Wawa can prevail in front of the German.
Alexander hasn’t made much of a mistake in recent matches, but against a solid opponent like the Swiss, Sascha will be much more prone to errors.
I think that Wawrinka has the necessary value, but also the experience on his part to emerge victorious in this duel.

Prediction Today: Stan Wawrinka wins the match
Odds: 2.30

With big problems in the past in the Grand Slam tournaments, Alexander Zverev seems to have managed to overcome this jam, but his matches were short-lived.
Facing a former double Grand Slam winner, this match is announced a much more difficult one for the German, even if the latter leads with 2-0 in direct meetings.
I expect a solid reply from the Swiss, who in case the match is extended, will definitely become a favorite at the victory.

Bet Tips: S. Wawrinka +3.5 games
Odds: 1.50
