Sinner has won 91% of his matches on the men's tour this year. He's chalked up 42 wins from 46 matches, including title-winning runs in the Australian Open, Rotterdam Open, Miami Open, and the Halle Open. He also reached the semifinals of the 2024 French Open, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in an absorbing five-set bout.
The Italian missed the Paris Olympics last month due to illness. He will enter Montreal on the back of a quarterfinal exit in the Wimbledon Championships at the hands of Daniil Medvedev. Despite a courageous effort against the Russian, Sinner went down in five sets in London, 6-7(7), 6-4, 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3.
Meanwhile, Borna Coric has had an ordinary season so far by collecting nine wins from 23 matches, including a runner-up finish in Montpellier at the Open Su De France. He also reached the second round in Indian Wells, Monte Carlo Masters, and Madrid Open, where he lost to Alexander Zverev in straight sets.
The Croatian entered Montreal on the back of a disappointing first-round exit in Washington. He instantly made amends by breezing past Pedro Martinez in his opening bout, 6-4, 6-4. Coric will be eager to bring his A-game against Sinner next.

Jannik Sinner vs Borna Coric prediction
Jannik Sinner will return to the mix in Montreal after a short spell on the sidelines due to tonsillitis. His results speak volumes about his performance this year and he will be hoping to begin his preparations for the US Open on the right note. The Italian is the defending champion in Montreal and one of the favorites to make a deep run.
Coric, on the contrary, made a bright start to the season in Montpellier but hasn't registered a valuable result since then. He has a knack for finding his best potential at important events and will be hoping to do the same against Sinner. The Croatian won 76% of his first serve points and saved all break points against Martinez in the previous round.
The Montreal crowd can expect an engrossing encounter between Sinner and Coric in the second round. Coric has the skill set to present a solid challenge to Sinner, but the Italian should be able to deal with his threat and secure his place in the third round.
Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
