Jannik Sinner vs Daniel Elahi Galan preview

Top seed Jannik Sinner will take on Daniel Elahi Galan in the second round of the Cincinnati Open.

Jannik Sinner vs Daniel Elahi Galan prediction

Sinner has been a level or two above his peers on the men's tour. The Italian hardly gives an inch to his opponents during matches and looks to be in sublime touch at the moment. He will be one of the heavy favorites to win the Cincinnati Open.

Galan, on the other hand, has secured title-winning runs in Punta del Este and Santiago this year (ATP Challenger events). He has yet to make a valuable contribution on the main tour. The Colombian has yet to drop a set in his last three matches at Cincinnati and will be hoping to give Sinner a run for his money.

No points for guessing that Sinner will be a clear favorite to come out on top. The Italian should be able to follow up his Wimbledon triumph with a confident victory in the first round.

Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
