This is a public Poll. Thanks @James P. We will know what everyone predicted.
I put 6-10 games. I expect the champion to come firing and give a lesson to the Italian.
I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong, and Sinner gets less than 5 games. We will see.

This is when Novak moves up a gear, the last 2 sets vs TVR were an evidence of that.

About 12 I guess, something like 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 seems about right. Alcaraz would have been a better match, Djokovic has this title on a plate with the players having the best chances of upsetting him all gone now. Except Nadal, but I don't rate his chances that high

I think Sinner will show that, theres not only one, but two future world number ones tomorrow. I'm going with 26+ games with a five-set decider, similar to Sampras-Federer in 2001.

You can win 32 games and lose the match.
You can win 18 games and win the match.
This is tennis.

There are a lot of people here smoking something hard.

Interestingly, betting odds show the breakeven point in expected number of games to be 34.5. So unless the scoreline is 7-5, 7-5, 6-4, it basically assumes 4 sets that is something like 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3. Djokovic is the heavy favorite at -900, so betting houses are basically saying Sinner will take about 12 or 13 games.

Surprisingly, Nadal is only -290 against Fritz. That means Djokovic's payoff is 3 times lower beating Sinner to Nadal's beating Fritz. Djokovic being that much more of a favorite over Nadal's chances doesn't sound right to me.

On the other hand, TTW polling in the threads show Djokovic with a 66% chance to beat Sinner as opposed to 90% in the betting odds and TTW says as of right now that Nadal has an 86% chance to beat Fritz as opposed to 74% in the betting odds. I don't think TTW is right either.

LOL at all the propaganda about Sinner. Sinner is so bad that it drove one of our fellow poster to madness. People predicting more than 6-7 games are in for a big shock. Sinner has nothing and I mean absolutely nothing that can hurt Djokovic. Djokovic would just redirect the high velocity balls coming from Sinner and run him ragged. I would not be surprised if Sinner gave a walkover before or during the match. At this point a walkover would hurt Djokovic more than Sinner. Sinner (LOLOLOLOL)

Are you a hater of the Italian? Just put you predict Novak will win in straight sets. No need to put "LOL" after the surname of Sinner as if he were a laughable player.

I am not a hater of the Italian but Sinner cant be taken seriously. Check what happened last time Novak met Sinner and that was on clay where Novak is worse and Sinner is arguably better and in that tournament, Novak lost to Dan Evans in the next round. Playing Sinner is basically like playing a dummy

I don't know what match people watched on Monday. Alcaraz did absolutely nothing for two sets all Sinner had to do was keep the ball in play. Hit the occasional flashy FH winner and people think he has a chance against Djoko who won't let him play the way he wants to at all.

This is incredible. Seen it too many times where Novak has escaped this, but I'm pulling for the massive upset.
Yes it depends on sinner mentality I predicted sinner in 4 before the match had a feeling. Let’s see

Nope, you were wrong. You predicted Sinner to win 6-7 games, and he won 20 games. Meaning he won thrice as many games as you predicted.
He won 7 games since the match "started" LOL. I was right but was late by 2 sets. Please dont justify this pathetic performance from Sinner

Considering he hasn’t even played 10 grass matches in his career, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t win Wimbledon in 2-3 years

If the Sinner hype on TTW is to be lived up to Sinner should take this match 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.
So the answer according to the TTW hype heads is Sinner takes 18 games off the Djoke.

However the sane* contributors to TTW think some other score is likely.

* If TTW has any sane contributors.....
