Lorenzo Sonego starts his adventure at Wimbledon 2024 on the right foot, beating the number 31 seed, the Argentine, in three sets Mariano Navonewith the score of 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-4 in two hours and twenty-six minutes of play.
The Turin tennis player, number 54 in the world, made the most of the favorable draw, confirming Navone’s difficulties on grass. The Argentine, in fact, lost all three matches played on this surface in 2024.
After an uncertain start, Sonego took control of the match in the first set, taking advantage of a collapse of his opponent from 4-3 and a serve available to the Argentine, with the Italian winning three consecutive games and also the set by 6 to 4.
The second set, more balanced, was decided in a tie-break, where the Italian showed great aggression, winning 7-2. In the third set, a break in the fifth game paved the way to the final victory.
The statistics highlight Sonego’s excellent performance on serve: 74% of first serves in with 76% of points won, and an impressive 64% of effectiveness with the second serve. The winners-errors balance (25-18) confirms the solidity of his game.
Sonego will now face the Spaniard in the second round Roberto Bautista Agutworld number 112, seeking his second consecutive victory in an ATP tournament in 2024, a milestone never achieved so far this season.
This convincing debut victory could represent an important confidence boost for Sonego, who is aiming for a good run on the lawns of Wimbledon.
