Jannik Sinner and Arthur Fils meet Friday in the Madrid semifinal. Here’s a Fils vs. Sinner Prediction. This article will include a Fils vs. Sinner pick.
Jannik Sinner Betting Preview
Sinner made light work of Rafael Jodar in the quarterfinals and has won each of his last eight sets. In his last effort, Sinner won 69 percent of his service points and hit 28 winners. Sinner hasn’t lost a match since Doha back in February and he’s lost just two sets during this ridiculous winning streak. With Carlos Alcaraz sidelined for a while, Sinner is going to be a comfortable favorite to win every tournament he’s involved in. It’s going to take something special for Sinner to be tripped up anytime soon.
Sinner looks to make his fourth ATP 1000 final of the year and his first ever at Madrid. A win here would give Sinner his fourth final appearance of the year and his 37th final appearance of his career. Sinner has won each of his last eight ATP 1000 semifinal matches.
Arthur Fils Betting Preview
Fils just beat Jiri Lehecka in straight sets and is riding a nine-match winning streak. In his last match, Fils won 75 percent of his total service points and wasn’t broken once. Fils has won his last eight sets and has gone four straight sets without being broken. At 21 years old, it’s safe to say this is the best tennis Fils has played in his career and you can see the confidence growing. However, this is a massive step up in terms of competition.
Fils has a chance to make his first ever ATP 1000 final appearance. He lost his only semifinal trip this year in Miami. Fils looks to make his third final of the year overall and his seventh final appearance of his career. Fils has nine career wins over top-10 players, with two of those wins coming this year. Fils has never beaten a number one-ranked player in the world.
Fils vs. Sinner H2H
Sinner and Fils have played once, which was 2023 Montpellier. Sinner won the match in straight sets and 20 games. Fils didn’t produce a single break, while Sinner broke three times. This will obviously be the first match on clay.
Fils vs. Sinner Prediction
Fils is playing well, gaining confidence and he can hang around if he continues to serve well. The problem is Sinner has been a machine with 21 straight match wins and just two set losses. Sinner is not only winning; he’s dominating the competition. He’s returning well, not making unforced errors and making light work of just about everybody he plays. I’m just not stepping in front of this freight train from Italy. Give me Sinner in straight sets to make the Madrid final for the first time.
