Bet and Win

Eighth seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will take on the unseeded Lorenzo Sonego to begin his campaign in Basel. They will face off in the first round, with the winner playing Jenson Brooksby or Alexandre Muller next. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

Lorenzo Sonego is coming off a quarter-final finish in Stockholm. The Italian’s performance in Sweden was his best since a similar run to the last eight in Marseille back in February.

Also a quarter-finalist in Melbourne, Sonego has had a topsy-turvy year and has compiled a 20-26 record. The 30-year-old, who is debuting in Basel, starts a new week in 45th place in the live ranking.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has performed far better than his Italian opponent this year. The Spaniard has won 38 matches and registered three runner-up finishes in Acapulco, Washington and Delray.

He is on course for 40 wins in a season for the first time since 2019. The 26-year-old has, however, stuttered with his form in recent weeks. Yet to win consecutive matches since August, Davidovich Fokina has lost six of his last 10 outings.

He is coming off a quarter-final finish in Brussels that has bumped him up to 18th in the live ranking.
