Lorenzo Sonego vs Dan Evans: Match Preview

Lorenzo Sonego

Lorenzo Sonego received an entry into the main draw by virtue of being a lucky loser after Diego Schwartzman withdrew himself from the tournament. He defeated Dusan Lajovic in the 1st round in straight sets and followed that up with another straight sets victory over Hubert Hurkacz. He shocked the top seed, Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals, dropping just 3 games in the entire match. He handed the Serbian his first loss of the year except Grandslams. The Italian is yet to drop a set so far in Vienna and is certainly looking a major threat after a dominating win for Djokovic.

Dan Evans is enjoying a good indoor hard court season after back to back semifinals at two events. The Brit reached the semifinals of the European Open last week, and has made it to the last 4 in Vienna. The Brit defeated Alijaz Bedene in Round 1 after receiving a walkover halfway into the match. He defeated Jurij Rodionov in the second round in straight sets. In the quarterfinals, he had to dig deep to win a three set battle against Grigor Dimitrov, to reach the semifinals.
