Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev prediction and betting tips on January 26, 2025

Game Prediction

The Australian Open men's champion will soon be decided, with Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev set to battle for the title. Here's an in-depth analysis and prediction for this highly anticipated match.
Jannik Sinner
The Italian star has lived up to his billing as the tournament favorite, reaching the final with just one step remaining to defend his title. Despite an impressive season last year, Sinner has only two Grand Slam titles to his name. At 23 years old, he is the world’s No. 1 player.
In this tournament, Sinner has defeated Harry, Skulkait, Giron, Rune, De Minaur, and Shelton, dropping just two sets along the way. His toughest test came in the fourth round against the talented young Norwegian Holger Rune, who managed to push him to his limits.
Alexander Zverev
Alexander Zverev is making another attempt to claim his first Grand Slam title. This marks his third final, with the previous two ending in heartbreaking five-set losses. Drawing inspiration from Madison Keys' victory over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the women’s final, Zverev hopes to replicate such an upset.
At 27 years old and ranked No. 2 in the world, Zverev has had an impressive tournament run, defeating Pouille, Martinez, Firnley, Humbert, Paul, and Djokovic. His most notable victory came against Djokovic, although the Serbian won the first set 7:6 before retiring due to injury.
Match Facts
- Sinner is on a 20-match winning streak (excluding an exhibition event in Saudi Arabia).
- Zverev has won all eight of his matches this season.
- Odds for the match: Sinner win (P1) – 1.37, Zverev win (P2) – 3.3.
Head-to-Head
Zverev leads the head-to-head 4–2, but many of these matches were played before Sinner reached his current level of performance.
Prediction
Bookmakers favor Sinner, given his world No. 1 ranking and exceptional form on hard courts. However, Zverev is also in excellent shape and will give his all to secure his first Grand Slam title. A competitive match is expected, and a promising bet is on Zverev to cover a +4.5 game handicap.
