Jaume Munar vs Jannik Sinner Prediction: Expect a hard-fought match

Second-ranked player of the tournament in Umag, Jannik Sinner will face the Spaniard Jaume Munar in the last 16.The boys have not yet crossed paths with the bookmakers putting their betting odds on the Italian player to win.

After the grass part of the season, Jaume Munar has played two clay tournaments and six matches. In Swedish Bastad, the Spaniard was stronger than Jarry but weaker than Sousa, in Gstaad, he beat Zapata Miralles and Ritschard but lost to Ruud. In Umag, Jaume also managed to have one fight against Mikael Ymer of Sweden. The match lasted two hours and 36 minutes, Munar was stronger at 6:4, 1:6, and 6:4. Munar served once on one double fault, and won 77% of his points on the first serve and 38% on the second serve. On the receiving end, the Spaniard had the following statistic: 40%/71%.

After a very successful Wimbledon, where Jannik reached the quarter-finals and crashed out only to lose to eventual English Major winner Djokovic, Sinner had not played an official match on clay court. It is therefore impossible to say for certain in what form the Italian is now. In total, Jannik played 15 matches on the ground in 2022: 11 wins and four losses. We should remind you that Jannik Sinner reached the last 16 at Roland Garros.

Understandably, world number 10 Jannik Sinner is a class above his opponent, world number 59, Jaume Munar. However, the Spaniard has better match practice, with one game on the Umag court, while Sinner has not taken to a professional court since the fifth of July and the match against Djokovic. We believe it will be a tougher match than the bookies are making it out to be. We won't be surprised if the Spaniard, and not the Italian, makes it to the next round of the tournament in Umag. Here are our betting odds for the encounter:

• W1 for 2.75;
• Total Over (20.5) for 1.62;
• Match score 2-1 for 7.10.
