Montpellier Open: Bonzi vs Sonego Tennis Prediction & Pick

TennisSection previews the 2023 Montpellier Open as Benjamin Bonzi takes on Lorenzo Sonego in the Round of 32 on Tuesday, February 7, 2023.

Will Benjamin Bonzi get the win? Will Lorenzo Sonego pull off the upset? This will be a fascinating one, where we have two players very close in level coming to a clash. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 16 at the 2023 Montpellier Open?

Benjamin Bonzi had a solid 2022, rising up the rankings and coming into this tournament as the 8th seed. Despite this, it’ll be a really tough battle coming up against Lorenzo Sonego in the first round. Sonego can play some great tennis at his best, but Bonzi has been playing great tennis recently, and I expect him to take this match even if it’ll be a tough one as he looks to advance to the Round of 16 at the 2023 Montpellier Open.

Lorenzo Sonego hasn’t shown too many signs of progress since having an excellent 2021, and in some ways has regressed, however, he can still show a high level at his best and will be a really tough opponent for Benjamin Bonzi. Although I do not expect Sonego to be able to come away with the win, I think he’ll get his claws into this match and produce a great battle here at the 2023 Montpellier Open.

Benjamin Bonzi and Lorenzo Sonego have met once before, with Benjamin Bonzi leading the head to head 1-0. When looking at this matchup, Bonzi is a really stable player and can trouble Sonego if he isn’t at his best, Bonzi took their only meeting which came at last year’s Indian Wells in straight sets, and although I think we’ll get a tougher battle, Bonzi should come out alive at the 2023 Montpellier Open.
