Prop Bets: Felix Auger-Aliassime VS Jannik Sinner 2025-09-05

Sinner’s Slam Dunk vs. Auger-Aliassime’s Hail Mary: A Tale of Two Titans

Let’s cut to the chase: Jannik Sinner is the tennis equivalent of a spreadsheet that’s already done your taxes. With implied probabilities north of 97% (per decimal odds of 1.03–1.04) and moneyline odds as absurd as -5000 (Bovada), the world No. 1 isn’t just favored—he’s the human embodiment of “odds so short, your wallet will cry.” Sinner has dropped just 1 set in 5 matches here, owns a 16-0 record against Italians (yes, even his countrymen fear him), and is chasing a 4th straight Grand Slam final like it’s his job. Spoiler: It is.

Then there’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, the underdog with a 2-1 head-to-head edge over Sinner, including a 6-0, 6-2 “Cincinnati massacre” in 2024. AAG’s implied chances? A laughable 7% (at +14.0 odds). But hey, he’s 0-1 in their last meeting (a 2023 Cincinnati quarterfinal rout) and hasn’t reached a Slam final since 2021. His path here? A “career-high ATP ranking of No. 6” (achieved in 2022) and a press quote that’s equal parts inspiring and terrifying: “I need to play even better than I did today… regardless of tactically what I want to do.” Translation: Bring water.

Key Numbers to Know:
- Sinner’s dominance: 16-0 vs. Italians, 4 Grand Slam finals in 2025 (Melbourne, Paris, Wimbledon, now NYC).
- AAG’s redemption arc: Beat Zverev, Rublev, and de Minaur en route here—proof that upsets are his specialty.
- Odds (per DraftKings):
- H2H: Sinner (-975), Auger-Aliassime (+1400).
- Spreads: Sinner -7.5 (1.73), Auger-Aliassime +7.5 (2.1).
- Totals: 30.5 games (Over 1.85, Under 1.93).

Prop Bet Pick: If you must bet on Auger-Aliassime, take him to cover the +7.5 game spread (2.1 odds). It’s the only way to cash in on his “I need to play at a high level” energy without needing a miracle.

Prediction: Sinner wins in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. Why? Because when you’re -5000 to beat someone, you’re not playing tennis—you’re performing a math equation. Auger-Aliassime will go down fighting, but Sinner’s serve-and-stuff gameplan (think: 140mph aces followed by a shrug) is too much. The only real upset here? That ESPN is charging $29.99/month for this match.

Final Score Prediction: Sinner 6-3, 6-4. Implied probability of an AAG upset: 7%. Bring popcorn. And a calculator. 🎾
