Alexander Zverev, the top seed and recent French Open champion with a Wimbledon final appearance, enters this US Open first-round matchup on hard courts as a heavy favorite against Lorenzo Sonego. Zverev holds a 6-0 head-to-head edge, has dropped just two sets across those encounters, and brings a 46-13 record into the event while ranking near the top of the ATP standings. Sonego arrives with an 11-14 mark, limited recent success against top competition, a history of early US Open exits, and prior wrist issues that disrupted his 2026 campaign. The Italian has shown occasional set-winning ability but faces significant barriers in best-of-five format on Ashe Stadium. Trader consensus reflects Zverev’s consistent form, surface strength, and experience advantage in what projects as a high-probability opening win.
