Francisco Cerundolo vs Jannik Sinner: Prediction for the Match on October 30, 2025
After a very convincing win against Zizou Bergs in the second round, Jannik Sinner is on fire and he brings this form to Paris. Jannik beat Zizou pretty easily with the score 6-4, 6-2 and in the whole match, he fired 19 winners and only 7 errors. This is a complete turnaround of his last three trips to Paris, where he lost all but one match. After a tough but triumphant three-set final against Alexander Zverev, Sinner is now set to go for the Rolex Paris Masters, which would be a first for him and would be a perfect way to end a season already marked by the Australian Open and Wimbledon majors.
Our analytics rate Sinner to win over Francisco Cerundolo at an 82% probability, which is in line with the 1xbet odds of 1.019—a very short, hard-to-beat favorite of around -5260 is what is implied, but this also means that there still are some possibilities to bet on the spread if you are wise. Cerundolo, a tenacious Argentine player at No. 21 in the rankings, challenges with a 3-2 head-to-head advantage; however, Sinner has a 2-0 record over Cerundolo on indoor hard, and the last encounter was in Rome where Jannik obtained a 7-6(2), 6-3 victory in May.
This match goes beyond just being a round of 16, it is a game with qualification for Turin at stake and only one can walk away victorious. Revenge is the keyword here and Cerundolo was able to shock Sinner twice on clay, and now he is extremely motivated to help the Italian secure a top-10 ranking while the Argentine is aiming at a career-best finish that will get him in the year-end top-eight.
Indoor 2025: Cerundolo 5-2, Sinner 6-0 (ATP).
Statistics aside, this is a dramatic turn: Sinner, who has managed to keep up his resistance after his suspension, vs. Cerundolo's ascent at the Masters (he won 18 matches YTD, only Alcaraz and Musetti did better than him). Maybe this time it is in Paris, and not Italy, that those two will face each other, but the story would not be very different from their Rome meeting in which Sinner hit some flat bombs that put to test Cerundolo's topspin on a very slippery court. Betting people, be willing to see that the underdog might make a comeback—if he manages to extend his +6.5 games at 1.678 there is some safety in that if the matches are close, but Sinner's 91.5% service hold rate (ATP) does not allow you to imagine anything else rather than a victory in straight sets.
Claim Welcome Bonus🇦🇷 Francisco Cerundolo: Form and Statistics
Francisco Cerundolo is coming into this Round of 16 with the low-key fire of a player who has made Masters 1000 courts his own personal challenge and is the source of his 18 Masters wins in 2025—a number that positions him third behind only Alcaraz with 22 and Musetti with 19, according to ATP. The 21st-ranked Argentine, a top-20 player for the most part of the season after he managed to break it in the middle of the season, has made a heavy topspin forehand a global weapon for himself, hence he is able to break 46.2% of the times on hard courts (35th on Tour, ATP) while at the same time he keeps performing deep runs in high-stakes spots.
However, his 38-23 YTD record (62% win rate) only somewhat reveals him to be not always of the highest caliber on faster surfaces where the 12-8 hard-court record that he has is not as good as his clay (21-11) domination. How about indoor hard? This year he is 5-2, a bit more than average, with a serve that is responsible for 75.9% of the games but on which there is pressure against the best returners resulting in a leak.
Cerundolo has complemented his power game with great efficiency and grit in Paris. Canned in just under an hour, in the first round, he saved the best for himself 6-3, 6-3 as he dropped qualifier Damir Dzumhur to the ground. Counted points 62 to 46, he converted 2 of the 5 breaks—his forehand going for the point on the grainy La Défense Arena surface. The stamina of his second round was put to the test: a dramatic 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory against Miomir Kecmanovic which entailed him recovering from a 2-5 third-set, match point 3, saved, and finally, winning 111 out 2.5 hours of battle points. That guts shows everywhere in his Paris road—he managed to reach the third round in both 2023 (d. Ruud) and 2024 (d. Rublev)—but additionally, it shows his cap: no quarterfinal yet, and usually, due to close sets against top-seeded players, he is knocked out.
Last 5 indoors: W-W-L-W-W (d. Dzumhur 6-3,6-3; d. Kecmanovic 7-5,1-6,7-6(4); l. Bublik 4-6,2-6 Vienna R16; w. vs. lower seeds in qualifiers/earlier events, ATP).
🇮🇹 Jannik Sinner: Form and Statistics
The Round of 16 witnessed Jannik continue his furious attack in-door court and was probably the best tennis player of the year so far. It took 22 matches for someone to pop the bubble and he's the only one whoever did it. BTC's stats show Sinner achieving 91.5% of service games won (extreme hard) thus eclipsing Federer peak in the year 2017.
Additionally, the 24 years old tennis sensation of the season keeps as well a 49-6 performance record in 2025 which facilitates him to win 2 Grand Slams (Australia and Wimbledon) besides Vienna honours, but his Paris tragedy of only one victory in three previous attempts gives rise to many questions. Nothing better could have fit Sinner than to wear indoor hard condition the way he did: 6-0 this year, along with a top monthly tour (32.7%) for return games initiated, which made it the fastest achievement of the opponent's serves this year. Hitting the ball as straight as possible from the ground and with his almost perfect serve (in Paris he won 77% of first serve points) he definitely is the man of these tightly controlled matches where little outside influence is capable of intervening and precision dominates.
Sinner's Paris start was pure poetry: a 6-4, 6-2 obliteration of Zizou Bergs, he didn't allow the break of his serve and took 66 points to Bergs' 52 in only 87 minutes—19 winners, seven errors, and for the first time in the match, without break points. With that, his incredible streak of 22 matches was extended and it is now longer than that of Djokovic 2020, thus becoming the second-longest indoor hard run after Murray's in 2016.
Last 5 indoors: W-W-W-W-W (d. Bergs 6-4,6-2; d. Zverev 3-6,6-3,7-5 Vienna F; d. de Minaur 6-3,6-4 SF; d. Bublik 6-4,6-4 QF; d. Altmaier 6-0,6-2 R1, ATP). Just as a contrast, in the match against Cerundolo, we could witness Sinner's mastery of tactics that outshone: his throwaway backhand slices weakened the opponent's forehand loop heavily, as can be found from their 2-0 indoor H2H (latest: 7-6(2), 6-3 Rome R16). Sinner was able to capitalize on 48% return games, in the last indoors (Tennis Abstract), meaning that he is a great threat to Cerundolo who holds at 75.9%, mainly in tiebreaks, where the Italian is at 57.8% of second-serve-return and thus he achieves the highest in hard by ATP tour.
On prop angles: Sinner -6.5 games @ 2.244 (his 21-match streak includes seven straight wins by 7+ games); under 18.5 games @ 1.967 (82% of his indoor wins this year under, per ATP). YTD: 49-6 overall, 24-3 on hard.

Francisco Cerundolo vs Jannik Sinner Match Prediction
Who wins? Jannik Sinner 82%.
Sinner's unfaltering flat-line precision was the perfect illustration of the indoor evolution of a game, as he tore down Cerundolo's topspin empire single-handedly on the super fast hard courts of Paris. First, the set is a pure turning-point of serves: In his opening match (ATP), Sinner wins 77% of his first-serve points, thus neutralizing Cerundolo's 75.9% service games won. The Argentine takes an early break-for-4-3 from his forehand loop, but Sinner responds immediately with a backhand laser, hence, converting his 32.7% return game advantage (Tour-high) for a 6-4 hold, his 19 winners resonating like the ones of Berg. Micro-Stat: It is Sinner who has won 68% of the service games in the two matches, and it is Cerundolo's second serve that has become the victim.
Second set is all about counterplay: Cerundolo, finding the energy and spirit of his R2, lengthens the rallies up to 12+ shots (his Paris average), thus forcing three deuces and a break back at 3-2 with a topspin lob that hits the line—he is thereby recreating the scenario of his 2022 Hamburg upset by which he attained 5 breaks through endurance. Except Sinner who cuts his backhands to create tight areas for the forehand (57.8% second-serve returns won, ATP), thus breaking in four consecutive games to 6-3. The Italian's 91.5% service games won-rate is the shining one as no breaks are given to Cerundolo who only manages to score 29.4% on the return side.
The third set is off the table as Sinner is the one who is able to close the match and keep his 22-match winning streak alive.
The chance of an upset: 18% (Cerundolo winning in straight sets—his hard BP conversion rate at 46.2% raising to 50% in upsets, according to Tennis Abstract, if Sinner's serve suffers after Vienna cramps). The final scoreline is: 6-4, 6-3. X Insight: @Probahis's October 29 analysis points out that Sinner's "FH aggression into BH" was the main sticking point, while the story is moving toward Turin victory—Sinner, the indoor king, adding another chapter to a season of majors and milestones, whereas Cerundolo's battle was respectable but underpowered.
