Jannik Sinner takes on Mikael Ymer in the second round of Wimbledon on Wednesday.

The Italian has won 28 out of 36 matches this season. He started the year by winning all of his ties at the ATP Cup and reaching the last eight of the Australian Open. Sinner made the quarterfinals of a few Masters 1000 tournaments, including Miami, Monte Carlo and Rome.

The 20-year-old is seeded 10th at Wimbledon and beat Stan Wawrinka 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round.

Mikael Ymer has won eight out of 15 matches this season, with his best result being a semi-final run at the Open Sud de France in Montpellier.

After reaching the third round of the French Open, the Swede failed to qualify for the main draw at the Eastbourne International. He faced Daniel Altmaier in the first round of Wimbledon and beat the German 6-3, 7-5, 7-5.

Jannik Sinner vs Mikael Ymer prediction

Sinner will enter the match as the favorite. The Italian will be in good spirits having attained his first victory on grass against Wawrinka in the first round.

Sinner's aggressive baseline play will no doubt make things difficult for his opponent. He was very strong in his service games against Wawrinka, serving nine aces and winning 77% of points on his first serve. Sinner possesses a strong all-round game and will be difficult to beat.

Ymer is strong on return and is capable of testing the Italian's serve. The Swede is a decent server but has to watch his double faults. Where Ymer excels is his fitness and stamina. The Swede can run all day and tends to get better as the match wears on.

While Sinner is still a novice on grass, he has the game to be successful on the surface. He should prove too strong for the Swede.

Pick: Sinner to win in four sets.
