THE PREDICTION
26-year-old Lorenzo Sonego is a top clay player in poor form right now, with last week’s straight-sets loss to wildcard Jack Draper not even coming close. The 26-year-old enjoyed his best run of last season here on home soil with an excellent campaign taking him all the way to the semi-finals, where he forced a decider with eventual runner-up Novak Djokovic before defeat. The Italian will be well-backed and likely feel more confident for the support but this is a seriously tough opening draw against Denis Shapovalov, who was equal parts impressive and fallible in a three-set defeat to Andy Murray last week in Madrid. 23-year-old Shapovalov is one of the most unpredictable players on tour but with Sonego’s form some way off where it should be the Canadian can be backed, tentatively, to win at least a set here. Leave this match well outside any accumulators.
