Tennis, Sonego hit in Dubai: he’s in the quarterfinals

Nice shot by Lorenzo Sonego. In Dubai he beats Felix Auger-Aliassime, the hero of the 2022 Davis Cup (unfortunately at our own expense) 7-6, 6-4 and reaches the quarterfinals, where he will face the German Alexander Zverev, also looking for redemption . “I’m very happy, it was a match that I knew would go away in just a few points. My serve was crucial and I’m bringing home a good victory.” Thus the Piedmontese at the end of the match, and for him it will be the second quarter-final of the year. “Good, and with Sascha it will be tough, because even if the ranking doesn’t say it, he’s a top ten. I think I’ll have to try to repeat today’s match”. Meanwhile Sonego has already gained eleven positions in the standings: at the moment he is n. 56.

Meanwhile, the world number one, Novak Djokovic, is also advancing at full speed: the Serbian beat the Dutch Tallon Griekspoor in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-3. The Serbian is always waiting for good news from the United States, because he would like to perform at Indian Wells but hasn’t yet obtained an exemption. For the moment he is waiting for the winner of the match between Hurcacz and Kotov, who will contend for a place in the semifinals.
