Australian Open – American Learner Tien loses in the round of 16 to Lorenzo Sonego

The 29-year-old Italian will thus play his first quarter-final in a Grand Slam tournament. With Jannik Sinner, also qualified, Italy will have two representatives among the top 8 of the Australian Open for the second time in its history after 2022 when Sinner was accompanied by Matteo Berrettini (ex-6th in the world, today today 34th).

Lorenzo Sonego will face in the next round the winner of the duel between the Frenchman Gaël Monfils (41st) and the American Ben Shelton (20th), who was in the second set when the Italian’s match ended.
