Jannik Sinner vs Tomas Machac prediction
A gripping encounter is on the cards between Jannik Sinner and Tomas Machac in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open. Both players have been in stupendous form at the Masters 1000 event and will be eager to continue their run.
Sinner has raised the bar for his peers in the last six months, capturing four significant titles on tour. His impeccable movement, tactical acumen, and versatile all-around game can cause problems for any opponent. Having said that, the Italian will still need to play out of his skin in the quarterfinals.
His opponent, Machak, is on a dream run in the Miami Open. The Czech failed to get past the qualifiers in 2022 and 2023, but has managed to reach the last eight on his main draw debut in 2024. He relies heavily on his serve and is one of the cleanest hitters on tour. His resilience has been admirable in the Miami Open so far.
Ultimately, the player who makes a quick start and executes their game plan to the tee will have the upper hand in this match. Machak will have nothing to lose against the second seed Sinner and will look to express himself in the quarterfinals. Despite being at his best, he could face a tough time getting past the formidable Italian.
Pick: Sinner to win in three sets
