Alexander Zverev is in top form and one of the favourites to win the US Open.

The German star should be too good for Sam Querrey, but the big American can win a set on the back off his huge serve.

Zverev has won four titles in 2021. He won in Acapulco in March, the Madrid Masters in May, Tokyo Olympics in July and Cincinnati Masters in August.

The 24-year-old has won his last 11 matches which includes victories against Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev.

Querrey has done little of note in 2021. He reached the Stuttgart semi-finals and the Mallorca final where he lost to Daniil Medvedev.

The 33-year-old has lost all three matches on the hard court swing. He lost against Brandon Nakashima in Los Cabos, Peter Gojowczyk in Atlanta and Kei Nishikori in Washington.

Zverev is 2-0 against Querrey, winning 6-4 6-4 at the 2017 Laver Cup and 7-6 6-2 at the 2019 Beijing Open.
