Lorenzo Sonego29 years old and world number 55, won in four sets against the Swiss Stan Wawrinka in the 1st round of Australian Open (6-4, 5-7, 7-5, 7-5), a victory that will see him through to his next match with a great sensation at the start of the first grand slam of the season, the Brazilian João FonsecaRussian executioner Andrey Rublev in three sets, 7-6 (1), 6-3, 7-6 (5).
On the way to this victory against Wawrinka, the Italian tennis player invented a blow that did not exist, so it is incredible that it could be one of the best of the year. Moreover, the blow was crucial as it allowed the Swiss to break in the 11th game of the third set (6-5) before scoring 7-5 and approaching the fourth with a 2-1 advantage.
Resolving a disputed point, Sonego rushed in for a drop shot, but managed to return the ball to the other side of the net. Wawrinka answered him with a simple volley lob that seemed definitive, but Lorenzo, like a ‘road runner’, turned around, ran full of faith and reached the height of the ball to connect a back blow that turned into a crossed ‘ passing. -shot’ that stunned the Swiss.
That’s a great touch Lorenzo Sonego He celebrated his magical punch as if he had already won the fight, something he would have to fight for a few more moments before heading into the second round.
