Rafael Jodar vs Alexander Zverev Live Stream & Betting Tips - Zverev to Stay on Track at the French Open
Alexander Zverev, currently the favorite for the French Open title, faces rising star Rafael Jodar in their first career meeting in the Roland Garros quarter-finals. Jodar has shown impressive resilience, claiming his last two matches in five sets, but Zverev’s dominance and experience—winning 39 of his last 47 French Open matches—make him the strong pick. Expect Jodar to challenge, potentially taking a set, but the recommendation is Zverev in four sets. Zverev’s serve and recent record against top players underline his advantage.

- Jodar has got through his last two matches in 5 sets
- Zverev has become the favourite to win French Open
- I am backing the German to win in 4 sets at Roland Garros
Rafael Jodar is capable of taking a set off Alexander Zverev, but stopping the World No.3 in 5 sets is a tall order. The German should be able to use his experience to reach the semi-finals.

This will be the first clash between Rafael Jodar and Alexander Zverev.
Jodar Doing it the Hard Way at Roland Garros
Rafael Jodar has been a huge improver, starting the year ranked 165 and on the verge of breaking into the Top 20. He won his first ATP Tour title in April, on clay in Marrakech.
The 19-year-old lost to Arthur Fils in the Barcelona semi-finals and Jannik Sinner in the Madrid quarter-finals. He reached another quarter-final in Rome, falling away in a 3 sets defeat to Luciano Darderi.
The Spaniard thrashed Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-1 6-0 6-4 in the French Open first round before defeating James Duckworth in 4 sets.
Jodar has come home strong to win his last two matches. He defeated Alex Michelsen 7-6 6-7 4-6 6-3 6-3 and Pablo Carreno Busta 4-6 4-6 6-1 6-2 6-2, saving a combined 15/25 break points.
Zverev French Open Favourite
Alexander Zverev is yet to win a title this year, continually struggling against Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. He lost his first five semi-finals, four of them against Alcaraz or Sinner.
The German got to the final in Madrid where he was thrashed 6-1 6-2 by Sinner, beaten in 57 minutes. He went to Rome and suffered a fourth round defeat to Luciano Darderi.
Zverev has been dominant at the French Open where he has become the favourite to win the title. He defeated Benjamin Bonzi and Tomas Machac in straight sets before a 6-4 6-3 5-7 6-2 victory over Quentin Halys.
The 29-year-old hardly gave Jesper de Jong a chance in the fourth round, coming through to win 7-6 6-4 6-1 in just over two hours. He said: “I didn’t start off strong and he started off really fast and really well. But once I found my rhythm, I felt very comfortable on the court and that’s the most important thing for me.”
Verdict
Alexander Zverev will never have a better chance to win a Grand Slam. I don’t think Rafael Jodar will stop his charge in the quarter-finals, Zverev to win this one in 4 sets.
