The words of Lorenzo Sonego
After a four-set comeback victory over Daniel Evans, Lorenzo Sonego will face Carlos Alcaraz, the second seeded seed, in the second round of the Australian Open. The two have already faced each other in the first round of the Cincinnati 1000 Masters in 2021, and it was the tennis player from Turin who won, with a score of 6-3 7-6.
"He was really young. Now è it's different – admitted the Italian in an interview with official ATP channels – He was out of the Top 50 in the world. Now he è the No. 2. &Eegrave; improved a lot in tennis and I have to do my best to beat him. I want to do my best because é every time è an opportunity è to improve my tennis. I just want to enjoy the moment".
"He has changed a lot in his game. È another player,” continued the number four of Italian tennis. È aggressive on the court. He stays close to the baseline and wants to be aggressive. He has good touch, good volée, good response".
" I think it’s very good to be here and play on the center. È my first time on this court and I want to have fun and enjoy" concluded Sonego, who will take the court against Alcaraz no earlier than 03:30 Italian time on Rod Laver Arena.
