Why Bet on Rafael Nadal?


Regardless of the results, the fact remains that Rafael Nadal is still in terrific form as he continues his quest for his 23rd Grand Slam title. The 36-year-old Spaniard needed four sets to eliminated his second-round opponent Richard Berankis on Thursday, 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

That’s now back-to-back matches wherein Nadal needed four sets to dispatch the lower-tiered competition in the first two rounds of the 2022 Wimbledon men’s singles tournament. His last trip to London in 2019 was far more convincing, with four of his five wins at Wimby that year being straight-set victories.

Nevertheless, Rafa’s momentum this year has been unparalleled thus far, having won both the Australian and French Opens along with two other titles from non-Grand Slam events. The great unknown could still factor into Nadal’s chances of advancing to the fourth round of the tournament, though, as this will be the first time that he’ll face Sonego on the ATP Tour’s courts.

Why Bet on Lorenzo Sonego?


After a grueling five-set match in the opening round, 27th-seeded Lorenzo Sonego had a much easier time in his second-round bout Thursday, picking up the 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 straight-sets victory over Hugo Gaston. The 27-year-old Turin native converted 77 percent of his opportunities for points on first serve to outlast Gasto, who also committed four double faults to spell his demise.

Sonego is gunning for his second straight season of reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon and is having quite the solid 2022 season. He finished with a career-best third-round performance at the Australian Open earlier in the year, as well as three matches won on grass leading up to Wimby.

However, Sonego is still far from being considered as one of the real elite challengers in the ATP Tour. He’s just 7-7 in the last seven tournaments prior to Wimbledon and has not won an entire event since April 2021 in his home country at the Sardegna Open.

Rafael Nadal vs. Lorenzo Sonego Expert Betting Prediction

Although Nadal is the obvious favorite in this third-round match, there are still some people who doubt his prowess on grass, especially since he hasn’t won a Wimbledon title since 2020 and hasn’t won in straight sets yet in this year’s tournament. Couple that with this being the first meeting between Nadal and Sonego to make their clash more unpredictable than it seems on paper.
