Jannik Sinner vs Aleksander Vukic prediction from SBR's Gary Pearson for their Round 2 match on Thursday:
Pick to win: Jannik Sinner 3-0 (-330 via FanDuel)
"Sinner has won seven of his last eight matches at majors in straight sets. The only exception came against Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open Final, which he lost in epic five-set thriller.
He dominated Vukic in their previous two meetings, taking both in straight sets. Vukic, meanwhile, had lost six straight first-round matches before beating 21-year-old Luca Nardi in straight sets in the first round.
There's not much value in backing Sinner, with a winning $10 wager yielding a $3.03 profit. However, it should, and I reiterate, should, be a fairly safe bet."
Best prop bet: Under 28.5 games (-118 via FanDuel)
"Vukic, the 93rd-ranked player, is 5-15 this season and hasn't made it past the first round in the ATP Tour since the Australian Open, when he advanced to the third round. In four previous sets against Sinner, Vukic didn't win more than four games.
While he looked solid in his opening-round victory, Nardi, as the 95th-ranked player, struggled throughout.
I doubt Vukic can keep tabs on arguably the most dominant player on the men's side, who almost always saves his best tennis for the biggest occasions."
