Predictions

Barrettini, a former runner-up at Wimbledon, is expected to pose a huge challenge for the top seed Sinner. But considering the current form, the Italian is expected to come out with flying colours in the upcoming clash. Sinner is coming on the back of winning his maiden career title on grass at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle a couple of weeks ago. He has had the best season of his career so far and hopes to continue his good form at Wimbledon as well.
