Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner came into the tournament with absolutely no belief of qualifying earlier than Novak Djokovic. But he pulled off a huge win in the second round, beating Novak Djokovic after his win over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the opening round. His game against Djokovic went on to 3 sets.

Jannik Sinner will be eager to get his first career win over Holger Rune. The pair had played 2 matches against each other and Holger Rune won both games.

Holger Rune

Holger Rune was lucky to earn a win after Stefanos Tsitsipas retired early from their match against each other in the second round. He lost the first-round game against Novak Djokovic and then won the second game, so that puts him in the 3rd spot. Rune needs a win in this game and also a defeat for Novak Djokovic, for him to qualify to the knockout stage. But he is coming up against an in-form Jannik Sinner, who is oozing confidence at the moment after beating Djokovic in the previous round.

Rune has a perfect record against Jannik Sinner, winning both games against Sinner. The most recent meeting between the two was at the semifinal of the ATP Monte Carlo, Monaco back in April this year. Rune won the game 6-1, 5-7, 5-7. There is very little faith that he will be able to repeat the same heroics in this match.

Analysis and Predictions

Rune has a perfect record against Sinner but at the moment that means little when you consider the current form of Jannik Sinner. Jannik Sinner also has the advantage of the Italian supporters behind him and that is enough for him to outplay Rune and grab his 3rd win of the tournament.
