Wimbledon 2024: Sinner v Berrettini preview

The men’s singles event is well and truly heating up at Wimbledon, and the all-Italian affair between Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini on Thursday morning (AEST) is certain to entertain.

Sinner is undeniably the world’s best player at the moment. Not only does he hold the world No.1 ranking, he’s also accrued an impressive 38-3 win-loss record and four titles in 2024 — including a maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open.

It’s not just the fact that Sinner has been winning which is impressive; it’s how he’s winning. Since losing at the US Open last September, the 22-year-old is 11-3 against top-five opponents.

Sinner comes to London off the back of his maiden grass title, winning the ATP 500 event in Halle 10 days ago.

On the other side of the net, you have Berrettini. Another big-hitting Italian, he is a genuine grass-court specialist.

Berrettini is a former Wimbledon finalist who possesses an enormous serve, a powerful flat forehand, and a crafty slice.

With four titles on grass plus an impressive 79.2% win rate on the surface, this is the man no-one wants to meet early in a Grand Slam.

Injuries have kept the 28-year-old from playing regularly over the past two years, hence the lack of seeding at Wimbledon. However, he’s fit and healthy now and comes to SW19 off the back of a title in Marrakech and a final in Stuttgart.

Wimbledon 2024: Sinner v Berrettini predictions

If this match lives up to the hype, it won’t be as one-sided as online bookmakers are forecasting.

While Sinner should win, it won’t be straightforward. When Berrettini’s serve gets going, he is notoriously difficult to break.

Throw in his weapon of a forehand, and there is no denying the underdog has the artillery required to pick up a set.

Sinner has shown such calm and control in big moments over the last month that he should find a way to win. However, it’s entirely realistic that Berrettini starts fast, or hits out and finds success when he’s fallen behind.

In either scenario, Berrettini can cover the games handicap ($2.10), push the match to a fourth set ($3.25) and take it past the 38-game mark ($1.80).
