THE PREDICTION
World number two Jannik Sinner won the first 10 games of his Madrid Open campaign in a row on Saturday, thrashing compatriot Lorenzo Sonego 6-0 6-3 to make a huge statement of intent. The 22-year-old can pull within 300 ranking points of current world number one Novak Djokovic if he wins the title this Sunday and it took eventual champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, and a spot of misfortune, to oust him from the semi-finals of the Monte-Carlo Masters earlier this month.
Sinner has lost just twice this season, also falling to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz at Indian Wells, to look the clear best in the world at this moment in time but world number 72 Pavel Kotov should fare a little better than Sonego did in this nothing-to-lose shot at glory. The 25-year-old has impressed so far in Madrid, ousting veteran Albert Ramos-Vinolas before coming back to beat in-form Jordan Thompson on Saturday, but he has been unfortunate to draw the shortest straw in the city. Back Sinner to win their first encounter in straight sets.
TIP: JANNIK SINNER TO WIN 2-0
