Sinner is known for his strong topspin backhand, which he utilizes from the baseline to dictate rallies. He’s also a good mover with the ability to hit winners on the fly. Meanwhile, Rublev is well-known for his flat forehand, which he hits with strength and accuracy. He’s also an excellent server who uses his serve to set up his forehand.

Overall, it is a very difficult match to predict. However, the World No.4 currently is the slight favorite as he is a more well-rounded player than the World No.5.

Match Prediction: Jannik Sinner to win in three sets.
