LiontipsJoao Sousa vs Jannik Sinner. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 Australian Open (January 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Joao Souza lost in the final qualifying round match to Radu Albot (4-6, 4-6), but nevertheless made it to the final draw of the Australian Open as the lucky loser. Souza hasn't appeared at such big tournament for a while due to several injuries. His best result at this major is the third round of the competition.
Jannik Sinner was excellent at the ATP Cup at the start of January and won all of his matches in straight sets. He defeated Max Purcell (6-1, 6-3), Arthur Rinderknech (6-3, 7-6), and Roman Safiullin (7-6, 6-3). Sinner hasn't ever passed the second round of this tournament, but he is on top form, and we expect him to do well at the Australian Open this year.
