ATP Marseille: Lorenzo Sonego to the quarters without playing

ATP Marseille: Lorenzo Sonego to the quarters without playing

Lorenzo Sonego advances to the quarterfinals of the Marseille ATP 250. And he does so by benefiting from the withdrawal of Luca Van Assche, number 164 in the ATP rankings, who raised the white flag before the start of the match due to a flu attack.

The Turin native, who is chasing his 150th win on the ATP circuit, a milestone achieved only by Matteo Berrettini (189), Jannik Sinner (270) and Fabio Fognini (426) among the Azzurri, must thus postpone his date to the quarterfinals of the''Open 13 Provence'.

In the next round Sonego will face the winner of the challenge between Frenchman Ugo Humbert, number two in the seeding and world number 17, and Alexander Bublik, number 48 in the world rankings.

Sonego è ahead in the previous rounds with the Kazakh (4-0), the last of which played in the Metz final in 2022, while the balance with the Frenchman è in perfect parity, with three wins on each side: the last confrontation went to the blue &nbsp39;in the first round at Roland Garros last year.
