Prediction:
Rafa is on another level. He is in his best form compared to the last couple of years. He started the year as a grand slam champion and won some decent tournaments this year. When it comes to the clay, Zverev is no match to him. The performance he showed against Djokovic was outstanding. He has a very powerful forehand and he also showed amazing backhand skills.
Zverev also shows an amazing performance against Alcaraz, who defeated both Nadal and Djokovic in Madrid Open. Zverev is young and aggressive and has more stamina than Nadal. But he may not be able to stand against the king of clay in this match.
Prediction: Rafael Nadal will win the match
