However, he has had a tough 2020 so far. The Frenchman has won just two out of his 10 matches on the ATP Tour, this season with his most recent win coming in the opening round in Acapulco.Sonego, meanwhile, is at a career-high ranking of number 46. While he too has a negative win-loss ratio this year (2-7), he managed to win ten consecutive exhibition matches in Italy before tennis resumed after the COVID-19 outbreak. Those run of games, combined with his ranking and previous results against Adrian Mannarino, will infuse Sonego with confidence ahead of the pair's first-round clash at Flushing Meadows.Adrian Mannarino vs Lorenzo Sonego head-to-headLorenzo Sonego has a perfect record against his 2020 US Open first-round opponent Adrian Mannarino.While Sonego is ranked lower than Adrian Mannarino, he has a 100% record against the Frenchman so far.

The Frenchman has a good chance of winning the match if it goes five sets because since 2016, he has won all four Grand-Slam five-set matches he's appeared in.
