Preview: Jannik Sinner vs Corentin Moutet prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head: Miami Open 2026
Sinner won his 12th consecutive straight-sets win in ATP-1000 events, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s record.
Jannik Sinner might have had a slow start to the 2026 season, but he has the paths cleared for himself now to accomplish a rare feat. Only seven men have completed the Sunshine Double in Open Era history, and the Italian could be on the verge of joining this iconic pool of players.
This probability increased by ten folds after World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz was left outclassed on court by a ruthless Sebastian Korda, to eliminate the Spaniard in a round of 32 three-setter epic.
Sinner, meanwhile, continued with his own merry ways in the tournament, having now registered his 20th win in Miami after beating Damir Džumhur in the opener.
The second seed will next face off against Corentin Moutet, who with his unorthodox game style managed to stun Tomáš Macháč in his first-round battle.

Preview
Sinner is now the favourite to win the competition. It is fair to say that he has put the slow start behind him, and now aims to achieve history in Florida, eyeing a second title at the venue. He is expected to cruise past another easy challenge in the third round against France’s Corentin Moutet.
Moutet can be tricky to deal with initially, as players might not be used to his style. The Frenchman tries to disrupt his opponent’s rhythm with drop shots and slices, but the Italian is unlikely to be phased by any of these tactics.
The 26-year-old French player has had a poor season so far, with a third-round defeat in Melbournew and consecutive opening round exits at Indian Wells, Delray and Mexico. These two have clashed just once before, in Roland Garros 2024, where Sinner bounced back after dropping the opening set to prevail in four.

Match prediction
Sinner has barely broken a sweat in Miami so far, and Moutet’s bag of tricks is unlikely to cause any real discomfort to a player who has seen it all and then some. The four-time Grand Slam winner enters this match having won his last twelve straight-sets encounters in ATP 1000 events, and there is very little about Moutet’s game that would suggest match three is where that streak ends.
Expect a disciplined, clinical performance from the Italian, who will look to dictate from the baseline, neutralise the Frenchman’s unorthodox approaches early, and close it out before any upset narrative can even breathe.
