Lorenzo Sonego vs Quentin Halys prediction

Lorenzo Sonego enters the main draw of the Stockholm Open after winning both of his qualifying matches. The Italian has struggled with form and fitness in 2026, with his ranking dropping to outside the world’s top 100. Sonego has failed to reach a quarter-final this season, having lost 24 of his 42 matches overall. He advanced to the last eight of this tournament in 2025, losing to Ugo Humbert in three sets.

He faces Quentin Halys. The 30-year-old impressed at the Paris Masters, defeating Arthur Fery in the first-round and then saving match points to win against Frances Tiafoe in a dramatic second-round match. Halys then lost to Tommy Paul. This has been an encouraging year for Halys, and he is currently up to his highest ever ranking of 45 in the world. Furthermore, he won his first tour-level title in Kitzbuhel after defeating defending champion Alexander Bublik in the final.

The head-to-head is tied at 1-1, with Halys winning their most recent match at the Stuttgart Open last season. He has enjoyed the far better season and deserves to start as the firm favourite.
