THE PREDICTION

World number eight Jannik Sinner thrives on home soil as a proud Italian desperate to perform for his country and he looked every bit a title contender on Friday in a straight-sets victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis. The 21-year-old has twice finished runner-up to Daniil Medvedev this season, at the Rotterdam Open and the Miami Open, and each of his last five defeats have come against fellow top 10 players. 22-year-old Alexander Shevchenko will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 82nd after a straight-sets victory over Sebastian Baez on Friday, backing up his remarkable efforts in Madrid. The Russian first won a Challenger event in the Spanish capital before a brilliant run from qualifying through to the third round of the Masters two weeks ago, where he took the first set from world number thee Daniil Medvedev before a commendable defeat. This time around the Russian received a bye through to the second as a lucky loser but that leaves the 23-year-old with the freedom to enjoy this second chance without pressure. The partisan atmosphere should help Sinner early on in what could be a tough first meeting with Shevchenko but the Italian should be win this in straight sets regardless.
