Jaime Faria vs Lorenzo Sonego Tips

Jaime Faria is a young Portuguese player in his first season on the main tour. He mainly plays on clay and has never played on grass. He is ranked 118th. Lorenzo Sonego, ranked 47th, has 43 matches of experience on grass with 50-50 results.

Jaime Faria enters this match with 4 wins during 5 played matches on grass. Lorenzo Sonego won just 4 matches from the last 15 entered ones.

Sonego is the better player. The rankings show that, and it should show in this game too. Sonego won his first-round game last year in straight sets.

I think the bookies underrate Jaime Faria here because he had never won a match in his career on grass prior to 2025, and he lost to Shintaro Mochizuki 6-2, 6-0 in the quarterfinals of the Nottingham Challenger.

Lorenzo Sonego is the higher-ranked player here, and I feel he can beat his opponent by winning 5 or more games in the match.
