After a tight opening set which was settled in a tiebreak, Zverev established clear daylight by winning the second set 6-2.

Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev Prediction

After that controlled, efficient semifinal performance against Djokovic, Sinner should be odds-on to win his 5th Grand Slam in this final.  His record against Zverev is excellent and he’s beaten him in the last nine matches. That said, Zverev has answered the biggest question of his career and there is a noticeable freedom about the way he is competing. I am still leaning toward Sinner. The Italian’s serve is a massive weapon and he’s unlikely to give Zverev too much time off the return. Sinner’s pace and relentless pressure make him the slight favorite.
