Jannik Sinner vs Reilly Opelka: Preview

Sinner comes into this tournament with plenty of confidence and momentum, after winning the title in Antwerp last week. The Italian also triumphed in Sofia earlier in the month, before losing in the fourth round of Indian Wells. The 20-year-old has been making leap strides forward this year, owing to which he has now moved to a career-high ranking of No.12 in the ATP rankings. Sinner also won the title in Washington in the run-up to the 2021 US Open. For the year, Sinner has won 23 matches and lost 10 on the hard surfaces. Another victory this week in Vienna should see the Italian sensation qualify for the World Tour Finals in November.

After making the finals of the Toronto Masters in August, Opelka has not failed to impress in the last few tournaments on the hard courts. Consistent premature exits in Cincinnati, Indian Wells and Antwerp have also stalled his progress in the ATP rankings over the past few months. That said, the American is quite capable of beating the very best players on the tour with his aggressive game. Although the 24-year-old will be keen on delivering an impressive performance this week in Vienna, he will have a very formidable opponent to contend with in the opening round.

Match Prediction: Jannik Sinner should win in two sets.
