Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Zverev are poised to be the big names in the near future. Even if Nick and Sascha may be the next big ones, strangely enough, they have never faced each other officially on the ATP tour. However, they played a tasty exhibition at The Boodle’s Club last year when Nick defeated Sascha 6-3 7-6 (13). 

Kyrgios is ranked no.3 in Marseille where he is also the defending champion; Zverev is ranked no.15. They are meant to clash in the quarters if Zverev beats Mahut and a qualifier (that’s highly possible) while Kyrgios needs to beat either Jaziri or Kuznetsov (also highly possible).

Here the possible quarters

Monfils – Gasquet
Pouille – Paire
Zverev – Kyrgios
Tsonga – Simon
