Command Analysis
Current form
Fonseca faced Andrey Rublev at the start of the Australian Open and managed to beat him in three sets (7-6, 6-3, 7-6). Joao hit 14 aces during the match against the Russian, converted two break points and lost one game on his serve. The Portuguese has nine wins in nine matches this season.
Professional qualities
Fonseca is a promising Brazilian tennis player who is making more and more confident steps towards the top of the professional tour with each passing month. Joao has an amazing forehand. His style of play allows the Brazilian to dominate rallies and create serious problems for his opponents. Despite his noticeable progress, his potential is far from exhausted, and in the coming years he can become a new ATP star.
Current indicators in the tour
Fonseca is currently ranked 112th in the world. The Brazilian tennis player with his bright game will definitely soon debut in the top hundred. This year, Joao has already won one trophy - he won the challenger in Canberra on open hard. Fonseca has three titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Fonseca winning streak now stands at 14 matches.
Current form
Sonego advanced to the second round of the Australian Open, beating Stan Wawrinka (6-4, 5-7, 7-5, 7-5). Lorenzo served 12 aces, converted four break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the Swiss. The Italian has won three of five matches on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Sonego is one of the most versatile players on tour, able to succeed on all types of surfaces. He has titles on clay, grass and hard. However, in recent seasons, the Italian has shown the worst results on open hard. His game is based on constant pressure from the baseline. Lorenzo forehand is a powerful attacking shot, which often brings him success in long rallies. However, his backhand is less consistent, which makes the Italian game predictable for high-level opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Sonego was once the world 21st racket, but now the Italian is outside the top 50 in the world rankings - at 55th place. Last season, Lorenzo, as we recall, won the open hard court competition held in Winston-Salem. For him, this was the fourth ATP title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Sonego has won 11 of his last 15 matches against players ranked below him.
