Jannik Sinner vs Vit Kopriva prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: US Open 2025

The reigning champion, Jannik Sinner, will kickstart the tournament with the #1 ranking on the line.

The defending champion and four-time Grand Slam winner, Jannik Sinner, arrives at the 2025 US Open as one of the most dominant forces on tour.

Known for his powerful baseline game and ruthless ball striking, Sinner has been one of the most consistent players of 2025. His hard-court prowess makes him a serious contender, particularly with key rivals struggling with form and fitness concerns ahead of the US Open.

However, the Italian did face a setback in Cincinnati, where he was forced to retire midway through the final against Carlos Alcaraz. His reign at the top of the rankings could be at stake in New York, adding even more intrigue to his title defense.

Preview

Vit Kopriva has featured in five events since SW19 and has managed to muster only three victories. Clearly, the Czech has not enjoyed a great run and finds himself near the #100 position on the ATP rankings.

He will be playing his first main draw match at the Flushing Meadows, having suffered losses in the first qualifying round on three instances in the past.

At Roland Garros, he reached the second round but faced an opening-round exit at Wimbledon. As he prepares to compete against top seed Sinner, this round one clash at the US Open seems to be headed like one-sided traffic in favour of the Italian.
