Command Analysis

Lorenzo Sonego

Current form
Sonego came to New York for the US Open as the winner of the Winston-Salem event, where he beat Alex Mickelsen in the final last week. Lorenzo has a 10-10 record on outdoor hard courts this year.
Professional qualities
Sonego prefers clay. Slow surfaces are ideal for the Italian's playing style. However, Lorenzo is also capable of demonstrating quality tennis on hard courts - as evidenced by his recent victory at the tournament in Winston-Salem.
Current indicators in the tour
Sonego is currently ranked 48th in the world, although he was once ranked 21st. This season, Lorenzo has won one trophy - he won the recent competition in Winston-Salem. For the Italian, it was the fourth ATP title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Sonego's winning streak currently stands at five matches.

Tommy Paul

Current form
Paul didn't play very well in the tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati before the US Open, where he ended his performances following the results of the opening matches. On open hard courts this season, Tommy has 11 wins and eight losses.
Professional qualities
Paul is a typical representative of the American school of tennis. He has a powerful serve and equally powerful forehand game, confident play at the net. Tommy's lack of consistency is preventing him from reaching the top 10 positions in the world rankings.
Current indicators in the tour
Paul has never been in the top 10 of the world rankings in his career. He is currently ranked 14th. This season, we recall, the American won the title at his home tournament in Dallas and secured a victory on grass in Queens. Paul now has three ATP titles won in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
In 7 of Paul's last 10 matches, the first set went to fewer than 9.5 games.
