A Clash of Italian Tennis Titans: Matteo Berrettini vs Lorenzo Sonego Preview

On Friday, an all-Italian quarterfinal clash will see Matteo Berrettini facing off against Lorenzo Sonego at the 2024 Grand Prix Hassan II.

Berrettini started his campaign strong by easily defeating sixth seed Alexander Shevchenko 6-2, 6-1 in his first match. He continued his winning streak in the second round, facing Jaume Munar for a chance to advance to the quarter-finals.

Despite facing three break points early on in the first set, Berrettini was able to defend them and hold serve. He then went on to secure a break of serve and ultimately won the set.

Despite initially holding a 3-1 lead in the second set, the Italian player was unable to maintain their advantage as Munar mounted a comeback to even the score. However, Berrettini regained control in the final set and secured victory by winning the last four games of the match, ultimately triumphing with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

After receiving a first-round bye, Sonego faced off against Sumit Nagal in the second round at this event. Despite being outplayed in the first set, the Italian was able to secure just one game for himself.

Sonego’s performance improved as the match progressed and he dominated Nagal from the beginning of the second set. He quickly took a 4-1 lead and maintained his advantage until the end, ultimately winning the set.

Despite being evenly matched for the majority of the third set, Nagal was unable to capitalize on his opportunities to take the lead. However, Sonego did not make the same mistake and managed to break Nagal’s serve in the ninth game. This ultimately led to Sonego’s comeback victory of 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 as he closed out the match in the next game.

Predicting the Outcome of Matteo Berrettini vs Lorenzo Sonego Match

Despite facing a series of injuries setbacks over the past year, Berrettini is determined to revive his career. This week, he achieved his first victories on the ATP Tour since his comeback. While he has a favorable record against his compatriot Sonego, the fellow Italian has proven to be a challenge for him in the past.

All three of their previous matches were played on grass, but both players have also had success on clay with at least one title each on the red dirt. While Berrettini boasts a slightly better record on the surface with 49 wins and 20 losses, Sonego has a respectable 48-45 win-loss record.

Despite his poor performance this season, Sonego has yet to achieve consecutive victories. On the other hand, Berrettini appears to be finding his form this week. If he continues at this pace, he may once again surpass his fellow countryman.

Selection: Matteo Berrettini to emerge victorious in three sets.
