Jannik Sinner vs. Holger Rune: Match Preview

Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner demolished top seed Novak Djokovic to attain victory in his second consecutive match in Turin. He handed the Serbian ace his first defeat since Wimbledon to break the 36-year-old’s winning streak. Earlier, he beat World No.6 Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets in the opener.

The 22-year-old played his last tournament at the Paris Masters. He, however, pulled out of the event before his Round of 16 match against Alex de Minaur, thanks to the terrible schedule of the matches. Sinner has had a spectacular season so far. Last month, Sinner clinched titles at both the Opens in Beijing as well as Vienna, ousting World No.3 Daniil Medvedev in both of the Finals.

Holger Rune, on the other hand, was handed a win by Stefanos Tsitsipas in his second match in the Group stage format. The young Dane was leading the World No. 6, 2-1 in the first set. However, the Greek pro was forced to retire, fifteen minutes into the match due to a back injury.

Before that, the duo had locked horns in the semi-final round at the ATP 250 Sofia Open back in 2022. Though the Italian claimed the first set, the Danish youngster made a fierce comeback to in the second one. Top seed Sinner, however, was forced to retire after he twisted his ankle and suffered a heavy fall as he countered Rune, who was leading the third set 3-2.

Sinner has had an excellent season in 2023. The player recently ended Djokovic’s winning streak after he beat him in a three-setter in his last match. Though Rune was out of form for a part of the season, he has resurfaced back in his game. The Danish pro is in great form, as he thoroughly challenged the World No.1 Djokovic, only to lose in the final few games.

Match Prediction: Jannik Sinner to win over three sets.
