🎾 ATP Madrid: Alex de Minaur vs Lorenzo Sonego – Match Preview

🧠 Form & Context

🇦🇺 Alex de Minaur

• Clay Breakthrough: Semifinalist in Monte Carlo (led Musetti) and quarterfinalist in Barcelona (pushed Alcaraz) — the best clay form of his career.
• Clay Swing Surge: Already surpassed his 2024 results at Monte Carlo and Barcelona; looking to continue the trend here.
• Building Foundation: Career-best 10–5 clay season last year, including a French Open QF appearance.
• Madrid Challenge: Lost early here in 2024 (R1 to Nadal), but that was his only poor result during the Euro clay swing.

🇮🇹 Lorenzo Sonego

• Inconsistent Stretch: Has failed to win back-to-back matches in 9 of his last 10 tournaments.
• Positive Start: Beat Kecmanovic in straight sets—his best form since reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals.
• Dangerous but Streaky: Has upset big names before but struggles to sustain momentum across matches.
• Altitude Factor: Madrid’s quicker clay might aid his flatter, aggressive game—if he can maintain his level.
