Lorenzo Sonego vs Andrey Rublev prediction
Andrey Sonego and Andrey Rublev will do battle for a sixth time when they lock horns in Barcelona.
The Russian leads 3-2 in the head-to-head but has lost both of their previous meetings on clay.
The fifth seed Rublev set up this latest showdown with a 6-4 7-5 victory over Mariano Navone while Sonego fought hard to edge Pedro Martinez 6-2 2-6 6-4.
It was a winning return for the Italian in his first match since the Australian Open and the test will be how quickly he can recover for this one.
Both of their previous encounters on the dirt have gone to the wire and we think that’s a decent bet given Lorenzo is a touch undercooked and Rublev is a strong favourite.
Lorenzo Sonego vs Andrey Rublev tip: Over 2.5 sets
