Alexander Zverev enters the US Open first-round matchup against Lorenzo Sonego as the clear favorite, backed by his No. 2 ranking, French Open title, and Wimbledon final appearance this season. The German holds a perfect 6-0 head-to-head record, including hard-court wins, while Sonego sits at No. 91 with a sub-.500 2026 record and limited success against elite competition. Zverev’s strong serve, return game, and recent hard-court results in North America reinforce trader consensus on a high implied probability for his advancement, though Sonego’s recent Winston-Salem wins show he can compete in shorter formats. The hard-court setting and lack of reported injuries favor the higher-ranked player’s consistency in best-of-five sets.
