Lorenzo Sonego candid about challenge with Jannik Sinner

The words of Lorenzo Sonego

Lorenzo Sonego made it through the first round of the Madrid Masters 1000, beating Richard Gasquet in two sets (6-2 7-5). Awaiting him in the second round now will be his friend and compatriot Jannik Sinner. This will be the fifth direct confrontation between the two, with the South Tyrolean having won all five previous matches.

"I look at my own path and think match by match. &It is ugly and beautiful at the same time to meet with a friend in the second round, for sure it will be a fun match. We will have fun on the court, we will both try to give our best and entertain the audience present" said the Piedmontese tennis player, in the words collected by Ubitennis.

"I had good feelings in training, I found them again in the match and they helped me to play a very good tennis – he added – The playing conditions help me, especially on the serve, which worked well today. It will be important to manage the serve well because it can make a lot of difference here. For sure in the first set è it was one of the best matches, I am playing at a good level. I have to continue like this, probably this è was the most continuous match of my season so far".

"I am getting along very well with Fabio, these are the first tournaments and we are working well. We have a clear direction, we have to follow this path and always work at our best. We continue to work on the response, from how to handle it to the position on the court, and then always on the backhand and other aspects of my game" Sonego commented on the relationship with new coach Fabio Colangelo.
