Jannik Sinner vs Daniel Elahi Galan prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Cincinnati Open 2025

The defending champion will play his first match since winning Wimbledon.

Jannik Sinner will spring back into action after skipping Canadian Open 2025 in order to prioritise rest and recovery, due to a hectic calendar and couple of months ahead. The World No. 1 has a long season ahead, particularly in Cincinnati and US Open, where he needs to defend 3,000 points.

As a hard-court specialist, Sinner will fancy his chances as only Carlos Alcaraz can currently challenge him amongst the rest of the ATP players.

Match details

• Tournament: Cincinnati Open 2025 
• Round: Second round
• Date: August 9
• Venue: Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio, Cincinnati 
• Surface: Hard Court

Preview

Sinner will begin his title defense against qualifier Daniel Elahi Galan. The Cambodian defeated Vit Kopriva in straight sets to advance to the second rond of the Cincinnati Open for the first time in his career. Galan is ranked outside the top-100 in ATP rankings and has managed to secure only two main draw wins on tour in 2025 so far.

Sinner met Galan previously at Roland Garros 2023, and won comfortably in straight sets. Given the massive disparity in levels between both players, the Italian will be looking to wrap up this contest in no time, with audacity and conviction.

Match prediction

The only question which arises leading to this encounter, is whether Galan can avoid a bagel. Even considering the eventuality of Sinner dropping a set is highly improbable, as the World No. 1 thrives on hard-courts, and is way superior than his opponent in terms of skillset, power and precision.

Playing his first match of the hard-court swing, the Italian will look to adapt and quickly get used to the conditions, and is likely to drop less than six games over the course of the match, in what should prove to be a one-sided triumph for the defending champion.

Result: Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets.
