Rune is not an easy opponent. Holger could well put up a fight against Sinner. We think he will definitely do that. At the tournament in Sofia, the Dane is showing a good game. The reigning champion is unlikely to get an easy win.
All three of Rune’s matches at the tournament were not easy. All three of Rune’s matches have been tough, with the players breaking the 20.5-game mark. It’s likely that something similar will happen today.
Sinner reached the semi-finals of the Sofia Open without any problems. It is worth noting, however, that he was lucky with his opponents. The tennis players that Jannik played with were not of the highest calibre. He took out Nuno Borges (6-3, 6-4) in his first match and Aleksandar Vukic (6-2, 6-3) in his second.
Sinner thus took a big step towards defending the title. Last season, Jannik won the competition. Then, he defeated Gael Monfils (6-3,6-4) in the final.
Sinner has won four of his previous five semi-finals with a score of 2-0.
Rune could reach his third final of the season. The Dane has previously managed to do so in San Remo and Munich. Holger won those tournaments. However, it will not be so easy to do the same in Sofia.
All of Rune’s victories in this tournament were not easy. In the first round, he beat Tim Van Rijthoven (7-6, 7-6) on two tie-breaks. After that, Holger defeated Lorenzo Sonego (6-7, 6-4, 6-3) and Ilya Ivashka (6-2, 5-7, 6-4).
Rune has only seven matches under his belt against the top 10 in which he has had to suffer five defeats.
In 4 of Sinner’s last 5 matches, the tie-break has not been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 1.57.
