Learner Tien Form
Tien got to the Australian Open quarter-finals where he took Alexander Zverev to 4 sets. He then suffered a 7-5 7-6 first round defeat to Marin Cilic in Dallas.
The 20-year-old went the distance in all three matches in Delray Beach. He got past Miomir Kecmanovic and Frances Tiafoe before a 4-6 6-4 6-3 semi-final exit against Tommy Paul.

Jannik Sinner Form
Sinner was on track to defend his Australian Open title before running into Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals. He was on track for victory before going down in 5 sets.
The 24-year-old cruised into the quarter-finals in Dallas before a shock 3 sets loss against Jakub Mensik in the quarter-finals.
The World No.2 thrashed Dalibor Svrcina 6-1 6-1 in his opening match in Indian Wells and kept it going in a 6-3 6-2 victory over Denis Shapovalov. He saved three set points in the opening set against Joao Fonseca, coming through to win 7-6 7-6.
Sinner praised the 19-year-old after the match: “Joao is an incredible player, incredible talent, very powerful from both sides. He was serving very well. I felt like trying to be as aggressive as possible was the key.
“I dropped a bit of intensity at the end of the second set but he played incredible tennis out there. The atmosphere has been amazing, so I'm very happy about today's match.”
Verdict
Learner Tien has spent over six hours on court in Indian Wells and Jannik Sinner went over two hours against Joao Fonseca. I am avoiding the short odds on Sinner and sticking with the games market.
