Denis Shapovalov vs Jannik Sinner prediction
Jannik Sinner was in ruthless mode as he crushed Dalibor Svrcina to kick off his Indian Wells title bid in style.
The Italian dropped just two games in a 6-1 6-1 success over the Czech qualifier.
The second seed now takes on Denis Shapovalov for a third time after the world number 39 edged Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-3 2-6 7-6.
Shapo won his first meeting with Sinner in five sets at the 2021 Australian Open, but was beaten in four at last year’s US Open after being the better player for a set and a half.
This will be a test for the world number two and there’s certainly a chance that Denis picks up a set if he brings his A-game.
The Canadian often relishes the challenge of taking on the best, but we don’t anticipate an upset come the end.
Denis Shapovalov vs Jannik Sinner tip: Over 19.5 games
