I think this tournament sets up very well for Sinner. One, he has home-court advantage in front of the Italian crowd. Moreover, he can’t play Djokovic in the semifinals since they are in the same group. That makes qualifying out of round robin tougher for Sinner, but if he does then he could have a clear path to the final. My bet is that Djokovic and Sinner go head-to-head twice over the coming week. The world No. 4 may pull off one upset, but Djokovic’s motivation level will be a lot higher if there is a rematch in the final.
Semifinal picks: (1G) Sinner over (2B) Medvedev in 3, (2G) Djokovic over (1R) Rublev in 2
Final: Djokovic over Sinner in 3
