Jannik Sinner is not alone: blue record at Wimbledon

Just some time ago it would have been pure utopia to think of having three Italians in the second week of Wimbledon. Instead, it happened. Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Sonego and Flavio Cobolli are in the round of 16 of the most prestigious Slam.
A crazy result that confirms, once again, how Italy is experiencing a golden moment in tennis. Jannik Sinner is just the tip of the’icerberg of a movement that is going great and that, tournament after tournament, gives great emotions.
In history, never had Italy had three Italians in the round of 16 at Wimbledon. The last Slam with three Azzurri in the second week of the tournament was at Roland Garros in 2021. Moreover, match in hand, it cannot be ruled out that the three Italian outfielders may also continue their journey on English grass.
Jannik Sinner, the world number one, will face Grigor Dimitrov, an opponent certainly within his reach. Lorenzo Sonego, on the other hand, will face Ben Sheton. The American, No. 10 on the scoreboard, eliminated him at Roland Garros in the first round in five sets. The Piedmontese meditates revenge. Finally, watch out for Flavio Cobolli who could take advantage of the not-so-green age of the almost 37-year-old Marin Cilic. In short, after the record of three Azzurri in the round of 16, Italy dreams of seeing them again, all together, for a new record, in the quarterfinal pairings.
