Lorenzo Sonego vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo prediction

Lorenzo Sonego will hope for an upturn in fortune after an unspectacular North American swing ended in the disappointment of a first round loss at the US Open.

The Italian takes on Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who will be riding the crest of a wave having just recently won a Challenger title in Guangzhou Huangpu.

The Argentine is usually more proficient on clay and that’s where his eight tour-level wins have come this season.

Will he get a first victory on hardcourt at this level at the expense of Sonego?

We think the South American can cause some problems for the world number 44 but expect the Italian eighth seed’s greater potency with the forehand and serve to provide him with the edge in their first ever meeting.
