Jannik Sinner vs Max Purcell: Preview

Jannik Sinner continued his undefeated run from late 2020 to the start of the 2021 season, winning the Great Ocean Road Open for the second time in his career. After saving a match point, he overcame number 20 Karen Khachanov in the semifinals. Since Rafael Nadal in 2005, he is the youngest player to win back-to-back ATP titles. Sinner earned his third ATP championship in the 2021 Citi Open in Washington, D.C., after entering the tournament as the fifth seed. As a consequence, on August 9, 2021, he broke into the top 15 of the ATP rankings.

Max Purcell upset World No. 16 and first seed Gael Monfils as a Lucky Loser at the Eastbourne Open to reach his first ATP singles quarterfinal, and then beat Andreas Seppi to reach his first ATP singles semifinal. He was beaten by Lorenzo Sonego, another Italian. In the first round of the US Open 2021 in New York, Purcell will play Jannik Sinner of Italy.

Jannik Sinner vs Max Purcell: Prediction

For Sinner, this would be a piece of cake. With the kind of tennis he has played this year, Sinner, who has been likened to Federer because of his style of play, will easily defeat Purcerll. On the other hand, it would be really challenging to watch Purcell’s approach for this game.

Our predictions: Sinner to win in three sets.
