ATP Antalya Open quarter-finals, 12.50pm Thursday

Adrian Mannarino picked up the first title of his career on the grass courts at Den Bosch earlier this month and he can advance to the semi-finals at the Antalya Open by defeating Italian Lorenzo Sonego.

The grass-court credentials of Mannarino have been evident at Wimbledon where he has reached the fourth round in 2013, 2017 and 2018.

He dropped below his usual standards in the second round at the Antalya Open, overcoming a slow start to defeat Roberto Carballes Baena 3-6 6-1 7-5.

But Mannarino will have his sights set on lifting another trophy and should have too much court craft for Sonego, who has had little exposure to grass.

Sonego defeated Mannarino 2-6 7-6 6-3 on clay at the 2018 Rome Masters but the different conditions in Turkey should favour the Frenchman.

Mannarino could be included in accumulators at 4-9 and looks overpriced for a straight-sets success at odds-against.

Johanna Konta is out to 22-1 for the Wimbledon women's title after losing 6-3 6-3 to Ons Jabeur at Eastbourne.

Recommendation
