Match summary
Lorenzo Sonego and Pierre-Hugues Herbert meet in the Round of 128 at Roland Garros on May 25 on clay. Sonego holds a ranking of 69 while Herbert sits at 223. The two have never faced each other.
Neither player has found rhythm on clay recently. Sonego is winless in his last five matches and has won just three of his last ten; Herbert has won two of his last five but stands at 3-10 over ten matches. Against common opponents, Sonego has defeated Daniel Altmaier, Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Nikoloz Basilashvili, and Zizou Bergs while losing to Dusan Lajovic. Herbert's record against those same players runs the opposite direction.
Sonego constructs points from the baseline and prefers extended rallies, though his clay record sits at 30%, winning just six of fourteen matches on the surface. Herbert plays a more aggressive game built around heavy hitting off both wings; his clay sample also stands at 30%. Sonego's task is to establish rhythm and control the pace; Herbert must generate angles and pressure to prevent extended baseline exchanges.
