Sinner vs De Minaur Prediction 22 January 2025

Will Jannik Sinner beat Alex de Minaur in straight sets for the eighth time in a row? This question is key in our prediction for the Australian Open quarterfinal match. Let's recall that the tennis players faced each other on these courts a few years ago, and at that time the world ranking leader avoided excessive stress (7-6;6-3;6-4).

Jannik Sinner

For Sinner, defending the title has not been perfect (two lost sets in four matches). However, his overall results are impressive. Jannik has won a staggering 21 matches in a row, which is a fantastic feat amidst such fierce competition. In Melbourne, the Italian is focusing on quality serving (3 breaks, 43 aces, and less than 20% of points lost in the tournament), thus avoiding constant grueling rallies from the back of the court. Last season, the athlete won a total of eight major trophies (three Masters, two majors, two 500 series, and the ATP Finals), securing a total of 73 victories.

Alex de Minaur

De Minaur has never before performed so productively at home. But he himself is hardly fully satisfied. Due to a hip injury suffered last summer, Alex missed quite a few competitions, which did not turn into a full-blown crisis. Today, the Australian "bagelled" Alex Michelsen, converting just under half of his break points (5 out of 11). In total, the athlete has recorded 100 actively won points for the championship, while making 133 unforced errors.

Editorial Prediction

In this encounter, Sinner, in our estimation, will once again break de Minaur's resistance without any trouble. Jannik knows perfectly well how to effectively exploit all of Alex's weaknesses, and we believe that nothing extraordinary will happen again. The individual total for the Australian player less than 15.5 is our choice for the match.
