But concluding things, he suggested that the Italian is a great opponent and could provide a tough skill for skill competition. He could cover the court as much as the Serbian can do and thus, it will be a great match to follow. “Again somebody like Sinner who has started to come through big matches more and more but never made a major semifinal and there is a history of nerve management issues with Jannik as well. For Sinner I do think skill for skill, he can run with Novak,” said Gross in the podcast.

Thus, ahead of the mouth-watering encounter between the two, the Italian got major backing from the tennis enthusiast as he suggested that he could give the Serbian a tough challenge.

As it stands, the head-to-head stats lead is with the world number 1 as he leads 4 wins to 2. But, last year, these two faced each other 4 times. Out of that, Sinner managed to come out victorious on 2 occasions.

His first win came at the group stage of the Nitto ATP Finals. On the other hand, his second win came in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup. The young Italian managed to take Team Italy into the finals post, they landed their hands on the title.
