Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev prediction

Jannik Sinner will play for a fifth Masters 1000 title in a row in Madrid.

The Italian made short work of in-form Arthur Fils with a 6-2 6-4 success that secured a 22nd win on the spin. 

Standing in his way will be second seed Alexander Zverev, who claimed a 6-2 7-5 victory to end the surprise run of Alexander Blockx.

Two-time champion Zverev is into a fourth Madrid final but will need to find something new in this showdown after losing the last eight in a row against Sinner.

The world number one leads the head-to-head 9-4 and hasn’t dropped a set in their last five meetings. 

The match-up has been a nightmare for Sascha and although he can look back on good vibes at this tournament, you can’t really back against Jannik in this sort of form, particularly as the German will be reticent to come out of his comfort zone.
