Jannik Sinner vs Daniel Altmaier prediction
Sinner will enter the match as the overwhelming favorite to win given his performances this season. The Italian has won 19 out of 24 matches on hardcourts in 2022.
The Italian, who loves to take the ball on early, will look to play aggressively from the baseline. The 21-year-old is a very good mover on hardcourts and has an efficient serve as well. His composure and ability to grind out wins from tough situations will also come in pretty handy.
Altmaier has a strong serve and will look to make the most out of his service games while looking for the odd decisive break. The German will have to defend well to cope up with Sinner's intensity. He can endure long rallies and could try to force the Italian to make unforced errors.
Sinner has been in good form this season and should have little trouble advancing past Altmaier.
Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
