Alexander Zverev and Rafael Jodar meet in the quarterfinal at French Open on Tuesday. Alexander Zverev is rolling — 10 straight wins, 10 of 10 in recent play. Rafael Jodar brings a 6-match winning streak into this one, 9-1 across the last ten.
Alexander Zverev has had the better of this rivalry, winning 1 of 1 against Rafael Jodar. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Zverev — worth more than the overall number this week.
The serve is where this match separates: Zverev has been winning 73% of first-serve points to Jodar's 68.4%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. The edge belongs to Zverev — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
