Ben Shelton as Lorenzo Sonego. Roland Garros match betting tip

Shelton and Sonego will meet in the first round of Roland Garros on May 25. Shelton has been showing a good game on clay this season - the final in Munich and victories over rivals such as Darderi, Francisco Cerundolo and Navone speak to the good level of the American tennis player's game. His defeats came in matches with serious opponents - Davidovich-Fokina, Zverev, Menshik and Munyar. But Sonego has not shown stable results for a long time - this year he lost to Kopriva, Martinez and Burruchaga on clay, without showing a competitive level in any of the matches. What bets should I pay attention to in this match? - find out in our betting tip

2.08Tip and bets
Sonogo hasn't shown anything outstanding in a long time. Even on clay, the Italian is not doing much this season - on clay courts this year, Lorenzo won only one match out of five, losing to the weakest Kopriva and Burruchaga. We consider Shelton to be a clear favorite in this contest.
Our prediction is that Shelton will win with a handicap of (-3) games by a factor of 2.12
