Sinner vs. Atmane Odds

Game Preview

Jannik Sinner did show some signs of struggle, or, to put it another way, a lack of motivation, in the opening rounds of this tournament. Against Felix Auger-Aliassime, we saw nothing but the finest Sinner performance, as he trashed the Canadian, 6-0, 6-2.

Previously, the Italian beat Galan, Diallo, and Mannarino, all in straight sets. This one lasted 75 minutes, and to be honest, we haven’t seen someone trash Felix in a long time.

Atmane started his Cincinnati Open almost two weeks ago, when he beat Jasika in the qualifiers. After that, he was better than Tu, Nishioka, Cobolli, Fonseca, Taylor Fritz, and lastly, Holger Rune in the quarterfinals.

He beat the Dane in straight sets, pretty easily, 6-2, 6-2, without expending too much energy, as the game lasted just 75 minutes. Atmane had won 39% of points on Rune’s first serve and had 21 winners.

Sinner vs. Atmane Predictions

Sinner apparently shifted into a higher gear, and even though Atmane has nothing to lose, we don’t see this match ending other than Jannik winning in straight sets.
