Pre-match flagged 8 avoid-market areas; caution remains warranted in high-variance spots.

Zverev enters this Munich rematch as a fortress. The defending champion at MTTC Iphitos has already dispatched Kecmanovic in Round 1 and carries the psychological edge of a crushing 6-7(1) 6-1 6-4 6-2 victory over Diallo just three months ago at the Australian Open. That January win revealed a critical pattern: Diallo can steal a set tiebreak with sharp play, but once Zverev locks in, the German dominates through superior movement and serve, winning three consecutive sets decisively. The surface amplifies Zverev's advantage.
