Berrettini vs Sonego Prediction

We have a Stuttgart Open redux as defending champion Matteo Berrettini takes on fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego. Sonego pushed his accomplished compatriot last year at this event to three, so he’ll be looking to exact revenge on Monday knowing full well Berrettini is lacking in match sharpness. Berrettini hasn’t played since Monte Carlo where he picked up an abdominal injury and was forced to pull out from the tournament and the remainder of the European clay swing. He has channeled his focus and preparation to grass, where he is due to defend his two titles on the surface, in Stuttgart and Queen’s. Sonego though is the player carrying momentum after his sizzling run to the French Open fourth round, a run that included a major scalp in the form of top-10 player Andrey Rublev from two-sets-to-love down. With Berrettini’s form an unknown factor, Sonego should be favored to defeat his countryman.
