Alexander Zverev vs Jannik Sinner prediction

Jannik Sinner was in ruthless form as he crushed Learner Tien to reach the semi-finals at Indian Wells.

The Italian was utterly dominant as he posted a 6-1 6-2 success over the American.

The second seed will now meet Alexander Zverev for the 11th time after the German ended Arthur Fils' run with an impressive 6-2 6-3 victory.

Sinner leads the head-to-head 6-4 but has won the last five on the spin, including four victories last year.

The world number two clearly has the edge over Zverev in the match-up nowadays and there’s not been enough difference to how they have both played this week to suggest that will change here.
