Lorenzo Musetti vs Lorenzo Sonego prediction

Fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti recovered from losing the first set against Raphael Collignon to win the next two before his opponent retired in the fourth.

The Italian enjoyed a superb 2025 to reach his career-high ranking, although the Australian Open is statistically his weakest Grand Slam having never gone beyond the third round in Melbourne.

Namesake Lorenzo Sonego, meanwhile, cruised through his opener against Carlos Taberner, dropping just seven games in his three-set victory.

A quarter-finalist at the Australian Open last year, Sonego clearly feels comfortable on the Melbourne courts and could give Musetti a run for his money here. While the Italian is favoured, Sonego should make this more than competitive.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Lorenzo Sonego tip: Over 3.5 sets
