ATP Tournament at Wimbledon, 3rd Round on Saturday, July 4, 2026, 12:00 p.m.
Paradoxically, on paper, it’s getting easier for the German French Open champion with every round he advances through. That’s because his opening match against the No. 36 player in the ATP world rankings was followed by a match against the No. 75 and now even one against the No. 92 in the world.
My Zverev vs. Giron prediction—which you can test out at bet365 Germany if you’d like—calls for a third-round victory in straight sets. To be precise, the exact bet is 3:0 for Zverev at odds of approximately 1.69.
The German didn’t give Giron a chance at all when they faced off in Halle just under two weeks ago. With scores of 6-2 and 6-1, and an 82% first-serve winning percentage, the Hamburg native was back in the locker room in just over an hour!
Zverev vs. Giron AI Predictions:
At bet365, the bookmaker I’ve chosen, you’ll currently find a few “spiced-up” Zverev vs. Giron picks for this match that are worth discussing.
A 3:1 set score in Zverev’s favor does contradict my prediction above, but since the bookmaker is offering odds of 3.50 instead of the market standard of 3.10, the risk-reward ratio for this outcome bet is at least no longer negative!
Especially since the Hamburg native suffers from a grass allergy and has had to endure several slumps in the two rounds so far.
Predicted odds of winning:
| Zverev to win |
Giron to win |
| 93.5% |
6.5% |
Theoretically, one could use the Hamburg native’s slight slumps in the first and second rounds as a basis for betting on a close set, but I wouldn’t advise you to do so.
Zverev is the more well-rounded player, and if he dominates Giron the way he did in Halle, the American will give up at least one break per set. Furthermore, the two have played five sets against each other on grass so far, and the German won all of them without a tiebreaker.
What to Keep in Mind for Zverev vs. Giron Bets
- Serve dominance (Rounds 1 & 2): Alexander Zverev has served an outstanding 35 aces in his matches so far (21 against Blockx, 14 against Royer).
Following his straight-sets victory over Valentin Royer, he boasts a fabulous 85% first-serve point conversion rate—absolute world-class.
- The Grass-Court Factor: Unlike grass-court newcomer Royer, Zverev is facing a different caliber of opponent here. American Marcos Giron feels right at home on grass and celebrated his only ATP singles title on grass to date (Newport).
- Head-to-Head: The record speaks for itself. I note a flawless 4-0 head-to-head record for Zverev. Most recently, he dominated Giron in straight sets on the grass at Halle in 2025, and he also defeated him at Wimbledon in 2024 without dropping a set.
- Grand Slam Momentum: Thanks to his 2026 French Open title, Zverev continues to ride a massive wave of success and has extended his winning streak at Grand Slams to nine matches. Giron is also in brilliant form in London and fought his way into this third round with victories over Moutet and Halys.
