Sonego in full control?

The Italian leads 4/1 in direct confrontations, normally he should win right?

In these 5 matches there is only one easy victory for the Italian otherwise everything else is played in 3 sets with at least one tie-break per match. And yes, that immediately changes the situation I think. Afterwards we have already seen players being dominant against certain players in particular without being imperial in the scores (I am thinking of Khachanov vs Cerundolo or Dimitrov against Hurkacz). The tie-breaks go in favor of the Italian but that is about the only margin he has on Hanfmann in their previous confrontations. And in my opinion we are in for another close match because Hanfmann has made a strong impression on me since the beginning of the Asian tour. He was already present in Tokyo because of the Davis Cup then he made the semi-finals of a challenger and now he has just dominated the qualifications. He is the dangerous Hanfmann that we like back, the conditions are fast enough and the bounce is not low, he can work his serve and his powerful shots. He has the advantage of being a qualifier and Sonego has only won one match in Asia so far against JM Cerundolo by dropping a set, he is not in top form either.
