Andrey Rublev vs Lorenzo Sonego prediction

Both Rublev and Sonego have distinct key weapons. For the Russian, it is his forehand, and for the Italian, his serve. Their match is going to see some forceful forehand exchanges, as Sonego has a powerful forehand, too.

The Italian will look to win a lot of easy points by virtue of his lethal serve. It will be important for Rublev To return well, because he will find it difficult to break the Italian otherwise. Sonego also has the tendency to come to the net often, which might expose him to Rublev's powerful forehand passes.

Ad

In such a scenario, it can be assumed that it is going to be a close match. However, Rublev is a proven player on big occasions and will start as the favorite on Friday. Sonego, however, might manage to take a set off him.

Pick: Rublev to win in three sets.
