Italy at the Australian Open not only smiles for Jannik Sinner. For the second time in the history of the Melbourne tournament, there will be two Italians in the quarterfinals. In 2022 it was Altotesin and Matteo Berrettini, this year the other Italian is Lorenzo Sonego who beat 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-1 Learner Tien, who had eliminated Daniil Medvedev, with the obvious traces fatigue on the legs for a tournament started since the qualifications. The Turinese reached the quarter-finals for the first time in a Grand Slam and will now face another American, Ben Shelton, promoted after the withdrawal of Gael Monfils. “It’s incredible, I’m emotional – he said in the on-field interview – It was a difficult match despite Tien’s problems, but I’m happy to have reached the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam for the first time. Being here is special. This week I played well and tried to enjoy every moment on the pitch. And in the background there is the possibility of an all-Italian semi-final.
