Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev Best Prediction and Odds

Based on the bookmaker's betting lines in this match, Jannik Sinner has a 57.93 % chance to win.

Jannik Sinner has been in terrific form in his title defence and will be confident of getting the job done. The Italian, who made his season debut in Melbourne, has lost just two sets in six matches.

In the last three rounds, he faced off with seeded opposition. Sinner defeated 13th seed Holger Rune 3-1 in the fourth round. This was his longest and most gruelling encounter of the tournament, lasting three hours and 28 minutes.

Before battling Shelton, Sinner made lightwork of eighth seed Alex de Minaur in the quarters. He won in straight sets and relinquished just six games. The world number one also won 3-0 against Shelton for his 23rd consecutive victory.

Sinner hasn't lost since last October in the final in Beijing. The two-time Grand Slam champion defeated Zverev in Cincinnati last year in their most recent meeting.

Alex Zverev has qualified for the final in Melbourne for the first time. The German had fallen in the semi-finals twice here, including last season.

Zverev progressed to this round rather fortuitously as his matchup with Djokovic ended prematurely. This is after the Serb, who was seeking a record-extending 11th career title in Melbourne, retired after the first set with a leg injury.

Zverev had claimed the opening stanza via a tiebreaker. This is Zverev’s third appearance at a Grand Slam final. He is seeking his first Slam after past setbacks at Flushing Meadows and Roland Garros.

The world number two, who is unbeaten through his eight matches this season, has also lost just two sets at Melbourne Park. Zverev has won four times against Sinner, twice at a major.

Power greatly describes Jannik Sinner’s playing style. The Italian is one of the hardest hitters and servers of the ball. He dominates matches with his aggressive baseline play and his main weapon is his two-handed backhand.

Alex Zverev also relies heavily on his power to subdue his opponents. The German has a similar playing style to that of Sinner and has one of the best backhands in the game. With both Sinner and Zverev lanky players, it is interesting to see how they will match up in the biggest match between them.

Sinner has won both Slam finals he has contested

***

Our prediction for Jannik Sinner v Alexander Zverev is for Sinner to win and both players to claim a set. Sinner is the Australian Open defending champion. The Italian is on a 13-match winning streak in this tournament and also hasn’t lost any of his previous 23 fixtures. This hot streak should see him defend his title against Zverev who has lost both times he has made it this far at a major. Zverev has defeated Sinner more than he has lost against him and he will be a tough draw, especially with a title at stake. The German is more than capable of winning a set here.

For our second prediction, we settle for this match to see an over 39 games outcome. Forty-six games were played the last time Zverev and Sinner dueled at a major and 37 in their first such encounter. As both players are the two best currently in the world, we should expect to see an exhausting battle.
