LiontipsSam Querrey vs Lorenzo Sonego. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 Australian Open (January 17, 2022).
Command Analysis
Sam Querrey isn't the same any more. Last year, he recorded only nine victories against 16 defeats. He looked great on grass courts, where his huge serve made a difference, but on hard it doesn't give a big advantage. We are not convinced that Querrey will be able to deliver a successful performance at the Australian Open.
Lorenzo Sonego reached the quarterfinals at the Sydney International, so we can say that he is well prepared for the Australian Open. In Sydney, Sonego defeated Hugo Gaston (3-6, 6-3, 7-5) and Sebastian Baez (6-2, 6-3). In the quarterfinal match, the Italian athlete lost to Aslan Karatsev (2-6, 6-3, 2-6), who eventually won the tournament.
Trends
Ставка1st set: total under 9.5 games
In 3 of Sonego' last 5 matches, no more than 9 games were played in the first set
СтавкаTie-break - yes
Querrey played 2 tie-breaks in his last 5 matches.
Tip and bets
Querrey is no longer as fast as he used to be, and we think that the young Italian should be able to defeat him in three straight sets.
Our prediction - total under 38 games
Sonego is the favorite of the match and should get an easy victory here. The Italian has already played at the Sydney International this year, while Querrey last appeared on court in mid-October. We are predicting a confident victory for Sonego.
Second prediction - handicap (-5) to Sonego
