Jannik Sinner’s next opponent in his Australian Open title defence is unseeded Marcos Giron. The two will battle in the third round, with the winner playing Holger Rune of Miomir Kecmanovic next. Below is our prediction for this match.

Jannik Sinner had to come from a set down to win his second-round tie against wildcard Tristan Schoolkate. Sinner hasn’t been fluid in his two wins.

In his opening round tie, the Italian defeated Nicolas Jarry in straights but needed a tiebreaker twice. The world number one is on an impressive 19-match winning streak.

Sinner defeated Giron in their only matchup to date in Shanghai two seasons ago.

Marcos Giron has progressed to the third round in Melbourne for the first time. He now seeks a major upset here to progress for week two at a major for the first time.

Before this year, the American had never won a first-round tie in this event. Giron, who has won four of five matches this season, is coming off a gruelling five-set showdown with Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

The 31-year-old has lost at least one set in both of his matches this week. Advancing to this round has propelled him up four places to 42nd in the live ranking.
