One of the big dogs will be in action at the BNP Paribas Open late on Sunday. Jannik Sinner cruised to a first-round win over Dalibor Svrcina, winning 6-1, 6-1. That victory should mean that the Italian conqueror comes into this match feeling confident. Hoping to deny the two-time Indian Wells semi-finalist will be Denis Shapovalov, who is far from a poor player.
The Canadian competitor has been battling away in recent weeks, showing that he's fit and ready to fight against even the best players. What's more, Shapovalov seemingly knows how to get under the skin of Sinner, having never lost to the mulitple Grand Slam winner in straight sets before. Can he continue that streak here? Or will the current world number two just have too much in the locker? We'll find out soon enough.

Our Denis Shapovalov vs Jannik Sinner Prediction
I know, I know, facing Jannik Sinner is never easy, but let's be honest, the imperious Italian has not been at his magnificent best in recent weeks and months, while Denis Shapovalov is really starting to show some hot form. The Canadian has been pushing hard against some top players of late, taking a set from Ben Shelton in Dallas, while he has a decent record of avoiding straight-set defeats against Sinner.
Given what we've seen from the pair in recent weeks, and given that Sinner may not yet be back to his best following injury, Shapovalov simply looks a little generously priced to avoid a straight-set defeat. Of course, Sinner has the quality to blow anyone away in two sets and that may well happen, but frankly, I'd have Shapovalov at +225 to avoid a straight-set defeat, so odds of +360 just look too big to ignore.
Our Denis Shapovalov vs Jannik Sinner Pick: Denis Shapovalov +1.5 Set Handicap.
