ATP Moselle Open – Fabio Fognini vs Lorenzo Sonego; Preview, Head-To-Head and Prediction

The ATP Moselle Open has shown us great action so far. The tournament continues with its usual panache as it goes into the semifinal. The two players who play next will be Fabio Fognini and Lorenzo Sonego. Their bout will be a match between two Italian giants who have crossed hellish waters to reach the quarterfinal.

Fognini and Sonego have followed a slightly similar track in the last few months. Both players have experienced highs and lows and have managed to overcome difficulties to play against each other in Metz.

Fabio Fognini vs Lorenzo Sonego: Preview

Fognini is in the twilight of his career. The 26-year-old Italian has played against the giants of the ATP during his prime, but he has not managed to keep up with the pace of men’s tennis anymore. However, he has made no plans to retire. He still plays in slams and Masters and has gone as far as round 3 in both this year.

He has also competed in the ATP Challenger series this year, with the final in Genoa as his best result so far. Fognini comes off a fantastic win against Alexander Bublik in three sets, a hard-fought battle where no player wanted to relent.

Elsewhere, Sonego is on a fairly similar track to his Italian compatriot. He has only competed on the ATP Tour this year. His best results in slams and Masters have been round four this year. He steps into the Moselle Open as the defending champion. He has also achieved his fifth and sixth win against Top 10 players this year. At the moment, he has the advantage of being the defending champion, giving him a slight boost in confidence.

In the current Moselle Open, Sonego beat Marcos Giron in the first round in three sets, coming back after losing the first set. He fought back in sets 2 and 3 and made sure that he prevailed.

Fognini vs Sonego: Head-To-Head

Sonego and Fognini have never played against each other before. Their bout in Metz will be a first, and the audience will see the two players employ new strategies in order to prevail over the other. Both are on a roll at the moment, given their current wins. The two players will improve their knowledge of tennis as they try to take each other down with the utmost effort in a bid to advance to the semifinals.

Prediction: Sonego to take the win in three sets

Given their current momentum, Sonego is the one who has a better chance of winning the match. While Fognini is coming off a massive win, Sonego has not won any of his bouts easily. Both players will have a fantastic bout, and they will fight to be the one to move on to the quarterfinal. However, the younger Italian player is the one who has a better chance of emerging victorious.
