Jannik Sinner vs Alex de Minaur Rotterdam Open Tennis Prediction and Pick 2/18/24
Top seed Jannik Sinner will face Alex de Minaur in the 2024 Rotterdam Open final. The match will be played on Sunday, February 18, 2024. Here's our Jannik Sinner vs Alex de Minaur prediction.
Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner cut short his celebration after winning his first Grand Slam at the 2024 Australian Open to play in Rotterdam. The Italian had signed up to play in this ATP 500 tournament even before winning in Melbourne and gave the tournament organizers his word that he would return to one of the most prestigious indoor settings on the ATP Tour. The Italian proved he had not lost a step since departing Melbourne, as he won all but one of his four matches in the Netherlands in straight sets. That included a 6-2, 6-4 win over Tallon Griekspoor in the semifinal. After falling to Daniil Medvedev in last year's final, will Sinner avoid a repeat result this time?
Alex de Minaur
Alex de Minaur will re-enter the world's Top 10 after his short-lived stay in his first stint there. That will be his one saving grace should he lose in the Rotterdam Open final on Sunday. The Australian workhorse has faced a much sterner test in almost every round, beating Sebastian Korda in his first match, upsetting World No. 5 Andrey Rublev and the in-form Grigor Dimitrov to get here. Will that giant-killing run continue in the final against the indefatigable Sinner?
Jannik Sinner vs Alex de Minaur Head-To-Head
The head-to-head doesn't make for very good reading if you're an Alex de Minaur fan. Sinner leads 6-0 and winning five of those bouts in straight sets.
Jannik Sinner vs Alex de Minaur Prediction
Sinner enters this match as the clear-cut favorite, and it is hard to dispute that. He is the in-form player of 2024, winning his last 14 matches stretching back to the end of last season. De Minaur lost every final he contested against a Top 10 player last season, showing the gulf in class is proving a little too much for the Aussie. Still, he is expected to make Sinner work for victory, but the normal outcome will ensue again. Sinner to win in straight sets.
