Lorenzo Sonego vs Ignacio Buse prediction
Lorenzo Songeo is searching for a victory after three straight losses during this clay court swing. He missed almost three months of the season due to a wrist injury, winning on his return in Barcelona but then losing in the second-round to Andrey Rublev. That was followed up by first-round losses in Madrid and Cagliari to Dusan Lajovic and Mattia Bellucci respectively.
He takes on Ignacio Buse in round one. He also struggled in terms of results, as he failed to qualify for the Monte-Carlo Masters and lost in the first-round of the Barcelona Open. Following another early exit in Madrid, Buse competed at a Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence. He managed to win two matches to reach the quarter-finals, where he lost to Alejandro Tabilo in straight sets.
Sonego is yet to flourish this season, and he is still continuing his recovery from injury after some time away. Buse is the safer option here.
