Smooth match for Sonego?

Indoors the Italian starts with a head start but historically he has never been easy against Lajovic, what should we be wary of?

Solid tournament in Shanghai for Sonego who only lost against a much better Jarry. The Italian loves playing indoors and we will obviously have to count on him at the end of the season but watch out for Lajovic who has nothing to lose and is playing better than usual on fast surfaces at the moment. The Serbian obviously prefers tournaments on earth but this is a very slow indoor tournament, he could do well. 2/1 for Sonego in direct confrontations including a 7/6 7/6 and often close matches which plays on few breaks and chances.
