JANNIK SINNER VS CHRISTOPHER O’CONNELL PREDICTION

World number one Jannik Sinner is looking like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders following the announcement about his drug test reprieve and the Italian is playing some excellent tennis right now.

Sinner completely outplayed talented youngster Alex Michelsen in the second round 6-4 6-0 6-2 and that was an ominous warning sign to the rest of the field.

He comes up against 30-year-old Australian Christopher O’Connell who has won two four-set matches against Nicolas Jarry and Mattia Bellucci to get to the third round.

O’Connell has never gone past the second round before but the reality is that he is highly unlikely to go any further. Sinner is ramping things up by the round and we are backing the Italian to win without losing a set.

JANNIK SINNER VS CHRISTOPHER O’CONNELL TIP: JANNIK SINNER TO WIN 3-0
