Valentin Royer vs. Alexander Zverev Prediction, Odds for Wimbledon Second Round

Valentin Royer vs. Alexander Zverev: History and Wimbledon Performance

These two players have met each other just once in their history. Zverev defeated Royer in straight sets at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai.

Valentin Royer

This is the fourth time that Valentine Royer has made it to the second round at a Grand Slam in his young career, including the second year in a row at Wimbledon. He defeated Harry Wendelken in four sets in his first match of the tournament.

Alexander Zverev

Wimbledon has historically been Alexander Zverev's worst Grand Slam. He has a 64% win rate at this tournament and has never made it to the quarterfinals. He defeated Alexander Blockx in the first round this year, but he needed a tiebreaker in two of his three set wins.

Valentin Royer vs. Alexander Zverev Prediction and Pick

Zverev is a rightful favorite in this match and should have relatively no issue advancing to the next round, but his history on grass, especially at this tournament, is hard to look past. Let's not forget he lost in the first round at Wimbledon in 2025.

That's why I think the bet to make is for Royer to win at least one set at +130. The Frenchman doesn't have the skill or form to upset Zverev outright, but he has a good enough history on grass to steal one set from the French Open champion.
