We’re off to the ATP Monte Carlo Masters for today’s best bet as Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Sonego square off for a spot in the third round.
This is an important match for both players, with Auger-Aliassime and Sonego struggling for their best tennis as of late.
However, we’re backing Auger-Aliassime to advance here. The Canadian registered a very impressive 6-2 6-3 victory in his opening round over Luca Nardi, who just beat Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells.
Listening to Auger-Aliassime speak after the match, he finally sounds confident and injury-free. He’s also playing without the pressure of defending basically any points throughout this clay season.
Auger-Aliassime is a former top 10 player and is simply too good and talented to be down for much longer and this represents a great opportunity to start trending upward again.
Sonego has a poor 6-11 record in 2024 and hasn’t won back-to-back matches in any of the nine tournaments he’s entered this season.
The Italian is only in the main draw as a lucky loser after Carlos Alcaraz withdrew injured. Sonego lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in qualifying – the Spaniard is well past his best and clay is his worst surface, so that’s a really poor loss for Sonego.
As mentioned, with Alcaraz out, this is a great opportunity for Auger-Aliassime to go deep at a Masters 1000 and I think the Canadian steps up this week and takes it.
