Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Third round matchup: [1] Jannik Sinner from Italy is set to face Jordan Thompson from Australia. This will be their first meeting on the ATP tour.

Jannik Sinner is currently 23 years old and holds the position of World No. 1, which is his career-high ranking. In the year 2024, he has a record of 45 wins and 5 losses, with four titles to his name. At the Cincinnati tournament, he has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, reaching the third round in both 2022 and 2024.

Sinner’s journey in tennis has been impressive. Starting from an unranked position in 2018, he rose to become the No. 1 teenager in 2020 and broke into the Top 10 at the age of 20 in 2021. In June 2024, he reached his career-high ranking of No. 1, making him the highest-ranked Italian in the history of the PIF ATP Rankings.

At the 2024 Australian Open, Sinner achieved a significant feat by defeating the 10-time champion Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. In the final, he made a remarkable comeback from being two sets down against Medvedev to win his first Grand Slam title. This victory made him the first player to beat Djokovic in the semifinals or later at the Australian Open. Sinner also became the first Italian champion in the history of the tournament and the second Italian man to win a Grand Slam title in the Open Era, following Adriano Panatta’s victory at the 1976 Roland Garros.

Sinner’s success continued in 2023 when he achieved his career-best record of 64 wins in a single season, setting the record for the most wins by an Italian player in the Open Era. This remarkable season was highlighted by his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Toronto.

In 2021, at the age of 19, Sinner became the first teenager to win an ATP 500 title in Washington. He also made history as the first Italian finalist in the tournament’s history of ATP Masters 1000 Miami (since 1985), ultimately winning the Miami title in 2024.

It is worth noting that Sinner, who is celebrating his 23rd birthday today, aims to reach his sixth ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal this season, having achieved this feat in all the events he has participated in. He currently holds a 16-0 record against Australian players since his loss to Duckworth in the second round of the 2021

ATP Masters 1000 Toronto. Throughout his career, Sinner has a 21-3 record against Australians. In this match, he aims to become the third Italian man to reach the quarterfinals in Cincinnati, following in the footsteps of Furlan in 1995 and Fognini in 2014.

On the other side, Jordan Thompson from Australia is currently 30 years old and holds the position of World No. 32, which is his career-high ranking. In the year 2024, he has a record of 28 wins and 19 losses, including a title at Los Cabos. In the Cincinnati tournament, he has a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, reaching the third round in 2024.

Thompson’s rise in the tennis rankings saw him break into the Top 50 in 2019, with notable achievements including his first semifinal and final appearances at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the same year. He reached his second final at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 2023.

In terms of Grand Slam performances, Thompson reached the fourth round for the first time at the 2020 US Open and the fourth round of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time at the 2019 Miami Open.

Thompson has had some notable victories in his career, including an upset win over World No. 1 and five-time champion Andy Murray at the 2017 London/Queen’s Club as a Lucky Loser. He also claimed his first win over a World No. 3 player, Stefanos Tsitsipas, at the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells.

In 2018, Thompson had a tough year on the ATP Tour, with a record of 1 win and 11 losses. However, he achieved a commendable 52-17 record on the ATP Challenger Tour, including reaching three finals. His 52 wins were the second-most Challenger wins by an Australian player in a single season, second only to Berlocq’s 57 wins in 2010.

Thompson’s victory over Humbert in the first round of the Cincinnati tournament marked his personal-best 27th win in a season, surpassing his previous best of 26 wins in 2019. In this match, he aims to secure his second win over a World No. 1 player, hoping to replicate his success against Murray in the first round of the 2017 London/Queen’s Club. Additionally, Thompson aims to reach his 26th ATP Tour quarterfinal, with a current record of 8 wins and 17 losses in this stage, and it would be his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal.
