The Brazilian rising star surrenders to the blue in 5 sets: 6-7 (8) 6-3 6-1 3-6 6-3 after 3 hours and 37 minutes of battle
Well done Lorenzo Sonego. While the whole world is talking about his opponent, Joao Fonseca, 18 years old, a rising star in world tennis, with the scalp of Andrey Rublev in this Australian Open, he takes to the court and beats him with a great performance. In the fifth set, comeback, with the head but not only. Lorenzo Sonego seemed like he was a few years ago, the one who beat Novak Djokovic and was close to the top 20. No doubt about Fonseca, he will become a phenomenon and is probably already more present than future, but Sonego gave him a lesson in tactics today, of intelligence and patience. The blue took home the match with a score of 6-7 (8) 6-3 6-1 3-6 6-3 in 3 hours and 37 minutes of play, in a rollercoaster match.
