Jannik Sinner and Denis Shapovalov meet in the third round of the US Open today. The match is tentatively scheduled to start at 12:40 p.m. ET on Arthur Ashe Stadium and will be broadcast on ESPN.
These players have only met once in their careers, back in 2021, when Shapovalov beat Sinner in the first round of the Australian Open. Sinner, of course, is a much different player now than he was then — does the Canadian have any shot against the world No. 1?

Jannik Sinner vs Denis Shapovalov Preview, Prediction
Sinner Betting Preview
The World No.1 and reigning US Open champion keeps trucking with a full head of steam toward another final. He is not invincible, but unless it's Carlos Alcaraz in front of him, you tend to think so.
Not even a great start is enough, as Grigor Dimitrov and tennis fans around the globe understood during Wimbledon, when Sinner seemed to be on the back foot.
The Italian has won all six sets in previous rounds in Flushing Meadows, and only Alexei Popyrin managed to win three games in a set against him.
Sinner has showcased his amazing footwork and used his well-known return to throw off his rivals in any situation where they might think they have an advantage.
On Thursday, Sinner neutralized Popyrin's powerful serve and gave him some of his own medicine by winning 80% of first-serve points.
Shapovalov Betting Preview
Shapovalov has a misleading advantage. He dominates the head-to-head against Sinner, which consists only of that victory at the 2021 Australian Open.
The exact same stat was true for Sinner in his last match, as Popyrin had also defeated him in their only matchup in 2021, when the Italian wasn't this force of nature on the ATP circuit.
