Jannik Sinner vs Terence Atmane prediction

Sinner came quite close to defending his US Open title but lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. He wasn't pleased with how he served in the final, so put in the hours to improve it before he arrived to compete here. His efforts were visible, winning 75 percent of points on his first serve after getting 77 percent of first serves in play.
Atmane rose to prominence after beating Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune en route to the semifinals of the Cincinnati Open. His run came to an end at the hands of Sinner, losing to him in straight sets. He has won all of his matches in Beijing in straight sets, right from the qualifying rounds.
Atmane's run in Beijing is likely to conclude thanks to Sinner. The latter has a 38-5 record this year, with Alcaraz accounting for four of those losses. His only other loss came against Alexander Bublik, who has been in great form over the past few months as well. The Italian should be able to get the job done to reach the next round.
Pick: Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets.
