According to operators, Lorenzo has little chance against the American. But in his career he has already beaten him at Roland Garros in 2023

Going beyond one’s limits is something that Lorenzo Sonego does very well. Thus, it wasn’t enough to have overcome an old champion like Wawrinka and the rising star Fonseca. The Italian went on to eliminate Marozsan and Tien, reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, a milestone he had never achieved in a Grand Slam tournament. Opposite him will be Ben Shelton, the two have faced each other twice in their career: in 2022 the American won in Cincinnati, in 2023 it was Sonego who prevailed at Roland Garros. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Shelton-Sonego, scheduled for the early hours of the morning (starting at 4:30) tomorrow.

SHELTON-SONEGO PREDICTION ODDS

According to betting sites, the American starts as a clear favourite. But it is something that has already been seen even when Sonego challenged and beat Fonseca. In short, the adverse forecast is not scary. However, it doesn’t mean that Lorenzo is exalted once again. Even for a pinch of superstition, we take refuge in a neutral forecast, relating to the number of games. The Over 42.5 is offered at 1.97 by LeoVegas, with Sisal following at 1.95; Goldbet, Betflag and Lottomatica remain at 1.90. The Under 42.5, in turn, is at 1.85 for LeoVegas.
