Best Bets to Make

Main Bet

According to the bookies, Sinner is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He played his best tennis this week in Indian Wells. The Italian has won the past four head-to-head meetings against Medvedev easily. We expect a similar outcome tonight as well.

That being said, Sinner winning in straight sets is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Jannik Sinner winning 2-0 @1.73 @bet365

Second Bet

Jannik Sinner served well this week in Indian Wells, especially in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Medvedev waits on the return way behind the baseline, which would make Sinner get aces not so easily. However, he served 8 aces against Zverev and 10 against Tien. We expect him to get at least 5 aces tonight.

That being said, Sinner serving 5 aces is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Jannik Sinner over 4.5 aces @-126 @FanDuel
