Norrie and Sonego are on the Day 3 Schedule at Bank Of China Hong Kong Tennis Open 2025 on Wednesday 1 January 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match, Cameron Norrie from Great Britain will be facing Lorenzo Sonego from Italy. The two players have previously faced each other twice, with the head-to-head series tied at 1-1.

Their first encounter took place in the 2019 ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo on clay, where Sonego defeated Norrie with a score of 6-2 7-5 in the round of 16. The second match occurred in the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Indian-Wells on hard court, with Norrie emerging as the winner, defeating Sonego 6-4 6-4 in the first round.

Cameron Norrie, aged 29, currently holds the world number 49 ranking in the ATP standings. He achieved his career-high ranking of number 8 in September 2022, making history as the fourth British man to enter the top 10, following in the footsteps of Henman, Murray, and Rusedski. Norrie has had a successful career, with a win-loss record of 210-154 and five titles. Notably, he became the first British champion in the 46-year history of the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells tournament in 2021. Norrie also reached the fourth round, quarterfinals, and semifinals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career at the 2022 Wimbledon, where he lost to eventual champion Djokovic in four sets. In 2023, Norrie secured significant wins against world number 2 players Nadal and Alcaraz, marking crucial milestones in his career. He was born in South Africa and raised in New Zealand but has represented Great Britain since 2013.

Norrie aims to reach his 43rd tour-level quarter-final in consecutive events, following his run to the final in Metz at the end of the 2024 season. If successful, he would become the first British quarter-finalist in Hong Kong since Henman in 2000, who lost in the semifinals to Kiefer.

Lorenzo Sonego, also aged 29, is currently ranked number 53 in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of number 21 in 2021 after earning a personal-best of 30 wins. In 2021, Sonego secured two titles in Cagliari, becoming the first Italian player in singles since 2006 and in doubles since 2005. His breakthrough on the professional tour occurred in 2019 when he won his first ATP Tour title at the Antalya Open after saving a championship point against Kecmanovic. Sonego had a successful campaign at the 2022 Metz tournament, where he won the title without dropping a set and defeated former champions Simon and Hurkacz. In 2020, he achieved a significant upset by defeating world number 1 Djokovic 6-2 6-1 in the Vienna tournament, becoming the first lucky loser to defeat Djokovic and conceding the fewest games against him in a match. Sonego also made history in 2021, reaching the semifinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Rome tournament, becoming the first Italian player since 2007 to achieve this feat. A win over Thiem in that tournament paved the way for his success.

Sonego’s recent victory over Nakashima in the first round of the Hong Kong tournament sets the stage for his goal of securing multiple wins against top 50 players at the same event, a feat he has not accomplished since his fourth-round run at the 2023 French Open. The 29-year-old aims to reach his 25th ATP Tour quarterfinal, with his last one occurring when he won the Winston-Salem title in August.
