Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Sonego – 1.60.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 23 – 2.00.
De Minaur is unstable on grass. De Minaur’s playing style is not quite adapted to the grass courts. Alex is good at keeping the ball in play but lacks the attacking game that Sonego has. Just recently, Lorenzo took a set against Berrettini. We think he can do the same against De Minaur.
Both head-to-head encounters between the two players have been tightly fought. We expect this encounter to be similar. De Minaur is the favourite, but it will be a tough encounter for sure as Sonego is in good form at the moment.
For De Minaur, the current tournament has a special significance. A year ago, he won the title in Eastbourne.
De Minaur started his title defence with a convincing win over Cristian Garin. Both sets ended 6-3.
In recent tournaments, Alex was not very successful. In Hertogenbosch, the world’s #24 lost to Adrian Mannarino in the second round (2-6, 3-6). In London, he lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-4, 4-6, 5-7) in the second round.
De Minaur has lost 5 times in his last 7 games against the opponents with a strong serve.
Sonego had a tough match against James Duckworth (4-6, 7-6, 7-6) in the first round. Contrary to expectations, the opponent put up strong resistance.
Sonego gave up the first set, then took two sets on a tie-break. It was a real tennis thriller.
Last week, Sonego failed at a tournament in London. In the first round, Lorenzo lost to Denis Kudla (4-6, 6-3, 4-6).
However, before that, there was a good performance in Stuttgart, where Sonego managed to win two matches.
Sonego has recorded 4 wins in his last 7 battles on grass against seeded opponents.
In 4 of the last 5 matches, Sonego has played more than 9.5 games in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 1.58.
