Jannik Sinner vs Christopher Eubanks prediction
Sinner will enter the match as the favorite to win, given the season he has had. The Italian has won 20 out of 25 matches on hardcourts in 2022 and beating him will be a daunting task for Eubanks, who has played very little on the ATP tour.
The Italian will look to be aggressive from the start and put pressure on his opponent. The 21-year-old served 15 aces in his last match and will look to have a lot more of those on Thursday. His powerful groundstrokes and on-court movement will come in handy.
Eubanks served 23 aces in his last match and will be eager to make the most out of his service games while looking for a decisive break. He is a good mover on the court, which will come in handy to deal with Sinner's shots. The American will have to be at his finest if he is to stand a chance.
While Sinner has been pushed to the limit and even beaten by lesser-ranked players before, he should be able to come out on top against Eubanks.
Pick: Sinner to win in four sets.
