Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner Prediction
In his previous match against Giulio Zeppieri, Alcaraz demonstrated strong serving, winning 67 percent of his first-serve points and fending off nine of 13 break points. With an unusual ability to add tremendous force to his groundstrokes, the kid is a challenge for opponents.
His agility and decision-making are unmatched, and his execution on clay has been almost flawless. To compete against the Spaniard on his preferred surface, Sinner will need to be at the top of his game.
In his previous match against Franco Agamenone, Sinner displayed a commanding performance, winning 68 percent of his first-serve points. The 20-year-old is a good ballhandler and has substantially improved over the last two seasons. Since he easily defeated Alcaraz at Wimbledon last month, he will have the psychological advantage over the latter.
Alcaraz sustained a slight foot injury during the semifinals, but it shouldn’t significantly affect him in the championship match. Sinner will undoubtedly exert a lot of pressure on the Spaniard, but he should still have enough left over to win his sixth championship this year.
To win in three sets, pick Alcaraz.
