Jannik Sinner faces Adrian Mannarino this afternoon in a fourth-round Cincinnati Open matchup on Center Court.
Sinner, the world No. 1, entered this tournament as the two-time defending champion and well-rested after a short break following his Wimbledon triumph.
He opened his title defense in dominant fashion, defeating Daniel Galan 6-1, 6-1, but showed some vulnerability in the third round when rising Canadian Gabriel Diallo nearly pushed him to a deciding set in a tight tiebreak.
Mannarino, the 37-year-old French lefty, is a crafty and experienced opponent who thrives on variation, sharp angles, and tactical finesse to unsettle opponents.
He comes in off a hard-fought comeback win over Tommy Paul in a three-set battle lasting two hours and 40 minutes. Today, however, Mannarino faces a rival not only superior in skill but also fresher and in better health.
Sinner–Mannarino Head-to-Head
Sinner leads their head-to-head 3–0. He won their most recent match, at Indian Wells in 2023, 7–6 (6), 6–4. Their 2002 meeting at the Canadian Open went to three sets.
Prediction
Sinner in 2 competitive sets. His form, depth, and H2H dominance suggest he’ll control the match comfortably. Mannarino’s touch and consistency may extend rallies, but Sinner’s power and precision should prove overwhelming.
