THE PREDICTION

22-year-old Jannik Sinner came into the US Open at a career-high ATP world ranking of sixth after winning his first Masters final at the fourth attempt in Toronto, where he beat Matteo Berrettini, Tommy Paul and Gael Monfils before blasting past Alex de Minaur in the final. The Italian conceded just five games to Yannick Hanfmann on Tuesday to make a big statement in New York, where he and eventual Carlos Alcaraz played out the match of 2022 five epic sets in the quarter-final. The pair are on an enticing collision course for a rematch at the same stage of this year’s US Open but Sinner has to get past compatriot Lorenzo Sonego first and the 28-year-old can be a handful over five sets. World number 39 Sonego coasted through his kind opener against qualifier Nicolas Moreno de Alboran on Tuesday to build on a recent upturn in form on tour but he remains a particularly unpredictable player with a high ceiling but a rather low floor. Sinner needed three sets to beat Sonego at the Halle Open in June to take a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head, both matches taking place this season, and backing the sixth seed to come through outright looks the sensible call as a result.
