"It's almost time and out they come, the crowd going wild for Sinner. This arena is proper, steeply banked so it feels like everyone is on top of the action, and it makes a right racket. Share Sinner, by the way, has won 27 indoor hard-court matches in a row. The predictable bounce is perfect for the way he moves and hits and in Turin, the thinner air is also helpful, giving the ball even greater pace through the air."
"Talking of Felix, how on earth could he go three hard sets just two days after limping through the second against Sinner? These lads are so fit it's ridiculous, and I really hope he's maturing into the best version of himself. Share This tournament properly kicked into action yesterday, with two astoundingly good matches. If Zverev is at it tonight, we might well get more of the same tonight."
Sinner has won 27 indoor hard-court matches in a row and thrives on predictable bounce and the thinner Turin air that gives the ball extra pace. The arena is steeply banked and loud, placing spectators close to the action. Zverev also enjoys those conditions and can benefit if he serves near his best and targets Sinner's second deliveries while attacking the backhand. Sinner will look to attack Zverev's forehand corner-to-corner and use his backhand down the line, keeping the ball low. Both players display exceptional fitness after tough recent matches. Tournament progression depends on tonight's result.
