Federer is 5-0 in finals and 35-2 overall this season, holding match point in all 37 of his matches. He has earned 16 straight victories to equal his longest win streak since 2012. Zverev is on a nine-match unbeaten run of his own, boosting him to a career-high 45 victories in 2017.
The 20-year-old German is 4-1 in 2017 finals, losing only to Federer 6-1, 6-3 in 53 minutes at Halle on 25 June. Should he avenge that loss, Zverev would tie Federer for the most ATP World Tour titles this year.
Zverev is the youngest Coupe Rogers finalist since Novak Djokovic won the Montreal title in 2007. He is hoping to join Jo-Wilfried Tsonga as the second active player other than the Big Four of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray to win multiple Masters 1000 titles.
Zverev is also bidding to become the 11th champion this season who saved match point en route to a title. The German fought off three match points against Richard Gasquet in his opener.
