Lorenzo Sonego vs David Goffin: Match Prediction

The quarterfinal clash between Sonego and Goffin promises to be a thriller. The match is equally poised with both players having the ability to produce their best tennis on the hard courts. However, Lorenzo Sonego is one of the young guns to look out for in 2021. He has shown his prowess on hard courts after he reached the Vienna Open final last year, which included a win against Novak Djokovic in straight sets. The Italian will battle past the second seeded Belgian in three sets and book a semifinal berth.
