Third seed Jannik Sinner will look to win his first Miami Open title when he faces in-form Grigor Dimitrov. The match will be played on Sunday, March 31, 2024. Here's our Jannik Sinner vs Grigor Dimitrov prediction.
Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner produced his best performance of the tournament and probably of the season in dismantling fourth seed Daniil Medvedev in a repeat of this year's Australian Open final. Sinner was at his electric best in the most one-sided match of their rivalry, winning 6-1, 6-2. The Italian tallied seven aces and won 80% first-serve points. Sinner also erased all three break points he faced in the first set to reach his third Miami Open final. He'll be hoping the third time is a charm because he's lost his previous two title matches in Florida.
Grigor Dimitrov
Grigor Dimitrov has enjoyed a stellar fortnight. He will contest just his third Masters 1000 final thanks to massive wins over World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz and the World No. 5 Alexander Zverev. In front of the watching Serena Williams, Dimitrov put on a show, as he out-aced Zverev (18 to 14) and converted two of two break points. The Bulgarian's impeccable serve was not broken in the contest, and he only lost the second set in a tie-break.
Jannik Sinner vs Grigor Dimitrov Head-To-Head
Sinner and Dimitrov have played against each other three times. The Italian leads 2-1, winning their last clash in Beijing last season in three sets.
Jannik Sinner vs Grigor Dimitrov Prediction
Sinner has been the ATP's MVP this season, winning 21 of 22 matches. A win on Sunday will send him into the top two of the world rankings. Dimitrov, for his part, has been the player of the week in Miami, with stonking wins over Alcaraz and Zverev in each of his last two matches. He is guaranteed to re-enter the Top 10 on Monday. Already, he has shown what he is capable of producing from the baseline when his game is firing on all cylinders. But this will be a step too far for the 11th seed. The Italian is playing better tennis this season than the rest of the field, and the conditions in Miami favor him slightly more to get over the hump in championship matches, finally.
