Zverev Heavily Favored vs. Muller: Can Upset Happen?

Alexander Zverev, ranked world No. 3, is the strong favorite to advance past Alexandre Muller in the second round of the Australian Open on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Zverev, a past runner-up at this tournament, needed four sets to win his first-round match. He has a strong record at Melbourne Park, reaching the quarterfinals in four of his last six appearances.

Muller, the underdog, has historically struggled at the Australian Open, with this being only his second appearance in the second round. Despite his past difficulties, Muller recently defeated Zverev on clay in Hamburg in 2025. However, their only Grand Slam meeting on hard court, at the 2024 U.S. Open, saw Zverev win in straight sets.

While Zverev is expected to win, the betting prediction leans towards the match exceeding 31.5 total games. This outlook considers Muller's recent upset victory over Zverev and the fact that both players required significant effort in their respective first-round matches.
