I really hope so. Winning this tournament could do a lot for the kid’s confidence. The talent is there, just needs to put it all together.
Yeah, his main problem is his confidence. Zverev looks like such a nervous wreck in many of his matches, especially when he's the favorite on paper. For such a talented player that can play tennis at such a high level he crumbles quite often under any sort of pressure. He's got a lot of "The pressure of the world is on me" performances. Thiem being a clear favorite tomorrow should actually be a good thing for Zverev. He usually plays his best tennis when he's not the favorite. I still think Thiem is going to put a beating on him in the final. Thiem's powerful groundstrokes = A Thing of beauty.
