On Saturday 18 January there will be four Italians competing in the third round in singles. All eyes at Rod Laver Arena will be on the world number one Jannik Sinnerwhich at 9 in the morning Italian will challenge the American world number 46 Marcos Giron. The only precedent dates back to 2023, when Sinner won 7-6(7) 6-2 at the Shanghai Masters. Before Jannik, they will take to the court for their singles matches, Lorenzo Sonego on field 3 e Lorenzo Musetti on John Cain Arena. Sonego will challenge, in an unprecedented way, the insidious Hungarian Fabian Marosancapable of ousting Frances in five sets Tiafoe; Musetti is expected to have a great match against the American Ben Sheltonwhich Lorenzo has already beaten twice in as many matches: Queens 2023 and Miami 2024 the previous ones. While Sonego will play during the night, around 4 am Italian time, Musetti will take the field at 7 in the morning.
In the women’s singles Jasmine Paolini she will face the 28th seed, Elina Svitolina. The Ukrainian tennis player has already been to the quarter-finals in Melbourne twice (2018 and 2019), while Jasmine seeks, with this victory, to equal the result of 2024, equivalent to the fourth round. The match will start, unfortunately, at the same time as Sinner’s (therefore always at 9 in the morning Italian time) on Margaret Court Arena.
For those who have grown fond of the couple who lifted the US Open cup in the mixed doubles specialty, know that Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori will enter the scene on field 6 for the 5 e 30against the Australian couple formed by Omar Jasika by Destanee Aiava. On the field 7 at ore 4 will take the field Elisabetta Cocciarettowho paired with Liudmila Samsonova will try to overcome the tandem composed of the Japanese Miyu in the second round Kato and the Mexican Renata It infects.
