Lorenzo Sonego vs Joao Fonseca Prediction & Picks - ATP BCR Open Romania

 by Drew Williamson | in Tennis Picks

This Tuesday morning, the first round of the Bucharest tournament gets underway, with Italian Lorenzo Sonego taking on Brazilian Joao Fonseca. There's a huge gap between these two players: Sonego is a regular on the ATP circuit and is currently ranked 51st in the world, while the latter got into this tournament as a wild card and will be playing in just his 3rd ATP tournament of this season. Joao Fonseca has been invited to take part in the ATP Bucharest to try his luck; similarly to how he was also a wild card at the Santiago tournament in Chile and in Estoril, Portugal a few days ago. In both tournaments, the Brazilian failed to progress beyond the first round. His best performance came at the US Open Junior, where he beat American Learner Tien last September. Since then, his routine has been interrupted by regular appearances at Challengers tournaments. As far as concerns the heavy favorite in this match, the Italian player put in a fine showing at the Monte Carlo tournament, where he made it through the qualifying stages as a lucky loser, then reached the second round to face Ugo Humbert. The Italian managed to win the first set (7-5) but collapsed in the next two sets, eventually losing 7-5, 3-6, 1-6. A regular at ATP tournaments, Lorenzo Sonego is the logical favorite against a player of a much lower level.

Our Lorenzo Sonego vs Joao Fonseca Prediction

It's David versus Goliath in this match between Lorenzo Sonego and Joao Fonseca. As previously mentioned, the Brazilian player isn’t the favorite to win this match, given his rather limited experience of top-level tournaments. Although he managed to win the US Open Junior in 2023, he was invited to this tournament and will have to overcome this first and significant obstacle to have any hope of progressing to the next round. Lorenzo Sonego easily has the upper hand in this first round and seems likely to take advantage. Our prediction Lorenzo Sonego - Joao Fonseca: victory for Lorenzo Sonego!
