Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the US Open match
Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner is playing under significant psychological pressure. This was evident from the first match: mixed reactions and boos from the crowd, mistrust and criticism from peers, and heightened attention to doping issues from the press. Sinner will need to navigate through all of this if he aims to retain the top spot in the rankings. Mackenzie McDonald took advantage of his renowned opponent's nerves and won the first set (6:2).
Alex Michelsen
Alex Michelsen has been meticulously preparing for this major American event. He started competing in North America at the end of July and spent a whole month honing his skills in Washington, Montreal, Cincinnati, and Winston-Salem. During this time, Alex secured 10 wins and even fought for the title in the final match of the last tournament.
Jannik Sinner - Alex Michelsen Prediction
Apparently, bookmakers expect the match to be finished in under three sets. This can be debated: Michelsen has been preparing specifically for the US Open and has shown a commendable level of competition against Sinner. The underdog will take at least one set, so we bet on the total over.
