Roberto Bautista Agut vs Jannik Sinner: Preview

Seventh seed Agut is a good player, and the hard court surface accentuates his game further. He has had some good results on hard courts in the last few months, like being a finalist in two ATP events, the Montpellier Open and the Qatar open. In the Miami Open so far he has had a bye in the first round.

ITF Court pace rating classifies the Dubai Court surface as Medium and Miami court surfaces as Medium-slow. So the Dubai courts were faster than the Miami courts. The match played on a faster surface meant Sinner could outhit Agut in three sets in Dubai. But on a slower surface it will not be so easy for Sinner. These kinds of slow surfaces suit the kind of game Agut plays. So Agut is the favourite to win this match. 

Match Prediction: Roberto Bautista Agut will beat Jannik Sinner in three sets.
