JANNIK SINNER VS ALEX MICHELSEN PREDICTION

World number one Jannik Sinner was stunned in the opening set against Mackenzie McDonald on Tuesday but the Italian responded in style winning the next three sets and losing just five games in the process.

Sinner admitted that the locker room had been a different place to previously before the announcement around his failed drug tests and that is something he is going to have to deal with in the coming weeks especially.

He faces off against starlet Alex Michelsen who is a really promising talent but the pair did meet in Cincinnati just a couple of weeks ago. Sinner won that match 6-4 7-5 and it is hard to see the American youngster getting much closer this time around.

Michelsen has the potential to really kick on in his career but while he has some really strong moments, his levels of consistency are poor. That makes any shock wins over the top players over five sets highly unlikely and Sinner should win in three or a maximum of four sets.
