Matteo Berrettini has had a string of unfortunate injuries in recent seasons, and this streak appears to be continuing in 2023. Earlier in the year, his physical condition appeared to be subpar during the few tournaments he competed in. He has not competed in any competitive matches since withdrawing from the round of 16 match at the Monte Carlo Masters in April. Furthermore, the former Italian No. 1 has a super-impressive ATP Stuttgart record of nine wins in as many matches. He won the title here on his previous two visits in 2019 and 2022, and he has a string of impressive victories in the tournament against top players such as Nick Kyrgios, Andy Murray, Felix Auger Aliassime, and Karen Khachanov.
So far in 2023, Lorenzo Sonego has won six more matches than his fellow countryman Matteo Berrettini (15/14 vs 9/7). Sonego’s performance, on the other hand, has been significantly superior, as he has consistently demonstrated his prowess against renowned players over the last six months. Even in his most recent appearance at the French Open, he caused a major upset by defeating Andrey Rublev in a five-set match and even took a set lead against Karen Khachanov in their quarterfinal match. On grass, the 28-year-old Italian has also had some memorable moments. He won his first ATP title on the grass courts of Antalya in 2019 and reached the quarterfinals of his debut in Stuttgart in 2022.
