Who will Zverev play next in the Vienna Open 2021?

Courtesy of his spectacular 2021 season, Zverev has already qualified for the year-ending ATP Finals in Turin. However, his quarterfinals opponent in Vienna, Felix Auger-Aliassime, is still aiming to book a spot in the Top 8.

Hence, both of them would be eager to get this win to their name. Interestingly, Zverev has a 3-1 advantage over Auger-Aliassime but lost his last match to the young Canadian in Wimbledon‘s fourth round.

Conclusively, time will tell whether Zverev takes his Wimbledon revenge or Aliassime improves his chances for ATP Finals 2021 qualification. Which one do you think will happen?
