Unseeded Botic van de Zandschulp is still waiting for his first win in 2025. He takes on seventh-seeded Lorenzo Sonego in the first round of the indoor hard court Open 13 Provence tournament. Here's our match prediction.

It's been a disappointing start to the new year for the Dutchman. All four of his matches played this year have ended in defeat. The 29-year-old has had some tough draws though and in his most recent match lost to Carlos Alcaraz but did take a set off the Spaniard.

Other losses have been inflicted by Nishesh Basavareddy, Alex de Minaur and Tallon Griekspoor. Only in the latter match has he failed to win a set. He's down to 85th in the live rankings.

It's been a better year for Lorenzo Sonego with a run to the last eight in the Australian Open and is 34th in the live rankings. He has lost his last two matches but they were against highly-ranked Ben Shelton and Holger Rune.

The Italian is 12th in the ATP Live Race, that's compared to the position of 530th held by his opponent at the time of writing this preview. Sonego hasn't played since the Australian Open and should be ready to resume his 2025 campaign.

We tip Sonego to win this match.
