Jannik Sinner vs Shintaro Mochizuki prediction
Jannik Sinner continued the defence of his Wimbledon title with a comfortable win over Jenson Brooksby on Court One. The world number one broke Brooksby on six separate occasions and won 87% of his points on first serve as he won 6-4 6-3 6-4.
He will now face Shintaro Mochizuki after the Japanese player came from a set down to beat Rafael Jodar in the third-round. Mochizuki, who qualified for the tournament, progressed to the round-of-16 for the first time at a Grand Slam as he won 1-6 7-6 (5) 6-4 6-4.
Mochizuki possesses an unconventional game which involves relentless net rushing, and that could unsettle Sinner at the start. However, the world number 151 has a weak serve, and that is likely to provide the Italian with plenty of opportunities in his return games. Mochizuki has performed incredibly well to reach this stage, but Sinner is likely to be a match too far.
Jannik Sinner vs Shintaro Mochizuki tip: Under 27.5 games
