Lorenzo Sonego continues his run in Eastbourne as he looks to settle his nerves before entering the Grand Slam at Wimbledon that begins in less than a week now. Sonego will enter as the 24th seed at Wimbledon 2021. Playing in Eastbourne, Sonego reaches his 2nd quarter-final on Grass in his 3rd Grass season of the career which includes his title run at 2019 Antalya Open.

Sonego had received a first round bye this week and followed it up with a 6-4, 6-2 victory in the 2nd round to register his debut win on Grass for the season after being defeated in the first round at the Queen’s Club 2021. With the Grand Slam approaching, Sonego will look to make most of this week and repeat the success of his week in Antalya in 2019.

Alexander Bublik also reaches his 2nd quarter-final of his career on Grass. He previously reached the last-8 stage at the tournament in Newport in 2019 where he finished as the runner-up losing to John Isner in the finals of the competition. He reaches the quarter-final this week with consecutive straight-set victories in both of his previous rounds to make it into the last-8.

Bublik debuted on Grass for this season at the Queen’s Club 2021 where he lost in the 2nd round and with a victory in the 2nd round here, he will fancy his chances for the title as he also sets eyes at the upcoming Wimbledon 2021.

Sonego will come into this tie with a career Grass record of 8-7 and an overall season record of 16-12. He had a poor season on Hardcourt but covered it up with good performances on the Clay court that saw him win the 2021 Cagliari Open as well.

Alexander Bublik will come into this tie with a career Grass record of 17-15 and an overall season record of 22-15. Bublik made poor start to his career on Grass but had a fantastic season in 2019 and will be the favourite for this clash as well.

Prediction: Alexander Bublik to win in 3-sets.
