THE PREDICTION
This is definitely the match of the day, if not the week now as the Sofia Open draw opens up, between Alex de Minaur and Jannik Sinner. De Minaur came through his first Sofia Open match against Aslan Karatsev in strong form after his Paris Masters heartbreak last week and is now the highest seed remaining in the tournament. He will have to cope with the target on his back, although the Australian is certainly the type who prefers the pressure. He will face 2020’s rising star Jannik Sinner for the second time in their young careers after the 19-year-old beat De Minaur in the Next Gen Finals last season over three sets. Sinner has looked in imperious form so far this week after two straight-sets matches and the youngest of two youngsters will take a full performance from De Minaur to beat. As their last match, this could see a deciding set between De Minaur’s speed and Sinner’s raw, untapped power but there is something about the Italian that says he could end 2020 with his first title here. It will be close, but Sinner has the momentum to reach the semi-finals.
