Prediction
Sinner enters as the overwhelming favourite, having compiled a stellar 26-2 record in 2024, highlighted by titles at the Australian Open, Rotterdam, and Miami. His recent semifinal runs in Indian Wells and Monte-Carlo have been solid as well. Statistically, Sinner’s game has been firing on all cylinders, winning nearly 77% of matches in straight sets over the last 10 matches.
While Kotov has shown promise with nine wins and a Morocco semi-final, his 9-17 record pales in comparison. That said, his gritty three-set win over Thompson shows his fighting spirit. Historically though, Sinner has an 86.7% win rate over 365 days compared to Kotov’s 57.4%. Unless Kotov can drastically raise his level, the Italian juggernaut Sinner should cruise to a straight-sets victory and keep his incredible season rolling.
Result: Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets.
