In one of the last matches in the first round of the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam, we will see Grigor Dimitrov, who is coming after a final in Marseille (ATP 250) and Lorenzo Sonego, who is trying to return to the elite of the professional tennis tour. The game is going to be very interesting because both opponents are great, hard indoor players, and we will see many amazing rallies.
Grigor Dimitrov vs Lorenzo Sonego Betting Preview
Bulgarian is coming into this match as a strong favourite. This is something normal as he has played two finals so far (won one in Brisbane and a lost one in Marseille). He is playing his best tennis since 2017, and we can easily see this, as he is just 140 points away from returning to the top 10. His services are solid, his groundstrokes from the baseline are fantastic, and he is not making many unforced errors from the backhand.
On the other side, Sonego is trying to find himself after the impressive 2-3 seasons he did a while ago. The Italian is always favourite for winning as an underdog on hard indoor courts, and we saw that a few years ago against Djokovic in Vienna when he demolished the Serbian. His service is not as good as the Bulgarians’, but he still has enough weapons, including a solid backhand and incredible topspin forehand.

Betting Tip – Grigor Dimitrov vs Lorenzo Sonego
After the long week in Marseille for Grigor Dimitrov, I think he will need some time to adapt to the new conditions in Rotterdam. The Bulgarian will probably be exhausted a bit, and it will eventually cost him even a set. Of course, everything is subjective, and he might be even in better form, but I think 2 to 3 days of rest at his age is not enough for good ATP preparation. I might go even for the bigger line of 22.5 games, but it looks risky because there is a chance it will not happen in straight sets (even if we see one tie-break).
