Well done Sonego, great fighter. Fonseca did absolutely amazing being his first GS, let's not forget he came from the qualifiers.

[@davidcb4946]

Increíble 😅😅😅😅 2R 😮😢😂😂😂😂😂

[@peteglews6601]

​@davidcb4946 true but with a bit of context.. his 5th match of this Grand Slam (having to qualify), took out a seed in the opening round and went down fighting in 5 against a solid experience professional. Carlos Alcaraz played his first major in Australia 2021 and achieved the same result, qualified and lost in round 2. Federer played his first in Australia in 1999 and didn't even get through the first round of qualifying.

It's always a pleasure for an old tennis fan when old style tennis (intelligence + fantasy + variety + touch) beats power tennis

[@JanTennis]

sorry to tell you but in 2 years sonego doesn't stand a chance against this kid

[@carloartificialintelligence]

@JanTennis : just enjoy "here and now"

​@JanTennis the great Sonego Is 30 years old

[@JanTennis]

@ and rublev 27 whats your point?

[@Aquineth]

Sonego playing incredible right now. I watched his insane lob return against Wawrinka. Making that shot alone must have sent his confidence stratospheric. Usually he’s too ambitious with his shots but now they’re all landing in. So intensely competitive and passionate about his sport. Well done to him!

[@m.a.g.3920]

Fonseca got humbled by experience. Good luck kid! You will succeed sooner or later

[@eugenioconti4688]

Fonseca has what it takes, he just needs to go through some defeats to learn how to improve and what to fix. Like all of us. Lorenzo was simply on fire!

[@Spaceshido]

No he dont

[@TheLiga]

​@@Spaceshido 1) learn how to write and 2) yes he does

[@fabribeijing]

As an Italian, I supported Sonego or else I'd rooted for Joao. Hopefully the media will stop over hyping the kid and let him grow gradually. He's got the talent, he now needs experience. "Se son rose, fioriranno" says an old adage.

[@knotwilg3596]

True greats don't care whether media overhypes them. I think Fonseca will rise regardless.

[@eneapango5192]

What? The dream kid? The special One? The next big thing? The man? Odds 1.15 Fonseca, 4.00 Sonego Like Sonego was coming from the ITF against a 18 years old guy that had everything to prove. Ridicolous. Let's go Sonego well done 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

Everything to prove? He already beat Sonego when he was 17...

[@eneapango5192]

@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten So? Maroszan smoked Alcaraz 2 years ago, made him look extra easy. But he still has everything to prove, far from a big status, and he didn't mantain that level sadly.

[@boydany86]

That's what I was thinking odds 5. I was thinking the experience is gonna do something in this match. 3 to 5 sets...yet I did not bet, I bet a lot of money on Etcheverry, that took out of all my strength

[@JLongTom]

Always bet against hype --- it's the only consistently winning strategy.

[@ThomasMayer123-f8f]

He is 18 goddamn, let him get some more expirience on the big stage. The media and fans put such a pressure on these kids

[@MarinolaTorre]

The boy is good but the fans are already making him get above himself, he cheered like crazy at every mistake of Sonego. First of all the respect for the opponent, especially when you are so young

[@giedriusk.4321]

After Fonseca defeat Rublev: "he's one of the new big3" after Fonseca lost to Sonego: "......................"

[@carloartificialintelligence]

he's going to be one of the new big 3

[@fabribeijing]

Too premature to make such a statement.

[@DannySuls]

Dude, what do you expect? That he wins the GS on his debut? Give him some time, I expect great things from him.

[@magdalenaszymaniak3167]

It´s called baby steps. He put up a great fight. You need to be blind not to see the potential. It sort of reminds me of Sinner situation few years back. Sonego should never be underestimated either.

[@giedriusk.4321]

@@DannySuls I don't expect anything, just some people look stupid with their brave statements.

[@kingston4313]

Experience trumps youth. The break on fifth, sonego hits some amazing passing shot.

[@AlexanderStojanovic28]

Sonego On Fire 🔥🔥

[@thomasgavris855]

I regret not betting a few bucks on Sonego when he was done dirty by betting sites. I think people expected Fonseca to blow him off the court but they seem to forget how gritty Sonego is and how tough of an opponent when he's playing well. Fonseca is a big talent no doubt but i think people need to manage their expectations. He is currently outside the top 100 and had to qualify to get into the main draw, he is not an established name. I have no doubt that he will manage some big things this year but at the moment placing him in the same group as Sinner and Alcaraz is insane

[@HermanWaldorf]

I wanted to bet Sonego in 5, I swear (but I didn't... :(

[@yussepig6629]

Glad Sonego is starting to fulfill his potential

[@donatomarangi3129]

Grandissimo Lorenzo 😊

[@HermanWaldorf]

se riesce a essere costante, è uno spettacolo, non gli manca niente.

[@frbalbo64]

Fonseca ha solo 18 anni...la vera prova che dovrà affrontare non sarà solo nel migliorare la tecnica, già impressionante in alcuni suoi colpi, ma migliorare nella mentalità, mentre l'esperienza proprio non si può insegnare. Dovrà abituarsi a convivere in un sistema dove se vinci sei un predestinato e se perdi un set ti aspettano con fucile puntato.

[@JLongTom]

I don't like Sonego's strokes, and I don't like his grunting, but my god, the guy is a certified upset machine and I can't help but love him for that. If the world seems to want a particular player to beat him, you can bet on him to make sure it doesn't happen. One of the game's great fighters.

@JanTennis It’s still fine margins, only Rublev has more power and week-to-week consistency (or used to). Sonego is a tricky oponent for hard hitters.

[@charcoalberries819]

See? Lorenzo is that kind of player, he loves the big time/show time matches. He's not afraid of challenges 😅 it's a good learning experience for Fonseca nonetheless. Very certain we'll be seeing more of him in the near future 😁

[@2GreekWheels]

The kid (Fonseca) is incredible. Amazing groundstrokes, power, footwork. If he keeps this up he will be lifting a grand slam trophy before long. Relax with the pressure of making him part of the new big 3. Probably the same people who crowned Rune one of the new big 3 😂😂😂 So fun to watch him play.

[@enricorossi3968]

technique wise, the most gifted of the italian tennis players, is Sonego

[@francescosaveriorotondi5975]

Mmmm no he is not. If we are talking about being tecnically gifted musetti takes the spot for sure (or fognini if he feels like it). In terms of groundstroke tecnique from the baseline it's Sinner no questions asked. If we are talking netplay and serve it is berrettini for sure. Sonego is good all round but it is not his tecnique that makes him strong it is his resilience and physicality mixed with a decent tecnique

[@arthurdebuck2576]

Not even close, Sonego has honestly got some of the worst technique in the top 100, although he has got good hands. This is nothing bad against Sonego, as it's a testament to his fighting spirit and tennis IQ that he's had a successful career despite his (relatively) poor technique

[@distico]

@@francescosaveriorotondi5975 Sinner has superb technique

[@francescosaveriorotondi5975]

@@distico exactly

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

​@@francescosaveriorotondi5975 Mussetti has a good backhand, but I would not even say it's technically better than Sinner's the rest of his game is technically inferior to Sinner except maybe volleys. Overall Sinner clearly has the best technique of the Italians in my opinion, but Berrerini's serve forehand, volleys and backhand slice are all really good as well.

[@Sergio-tf8xi]

Sonego the next special One.

[@Agent-hh2kk]

I just love how the tennis world hyped up a tennis player after a victory against Rublev one of the most inconsistent players to be in the top 10. Sure this guy is a teen but so was the teens that come before and after him. For all we know he could end up just like Shapovalov

[@agradina]

aha sonego too good too strong new goat of tennis

[@fbbnrc]

Grande Lorenzo. Gli hai servito un biberon caldo 😂👍

[@carlosfgomez3468]

Wow! Grande Lorenzo!

[@HermanWaldorf]

honestly I was expecting Fonseca to lose with Sonego. He comes from an incredible stretch of tournaments (won Next Gen well into December + Won Canberra + Defeated Rublev), he's young, cannot play with such intensity for so long (he will be in the top 10 within a couple of years, though). On the other hand, if Sonego plays consistently, he's easily at a top 30 level.

[@Livetowin65]

wow, Sonego finally is back!

[@davideperlo7124]

Fonseca è bravo,ma per arrivare i cima(che è alta)di strada ne ha ancora....giocare 2 settimane al top contro i migliori al mondo richiede anni di lavoro anche per un talento

[@mehmetdogaguvendi580]

Sonego flies on the court. I had known that it was going to be such a gruelling showdown between Sonego and Fonseca. We have watched the exceptional winner points from both players. When the physical determinants uncovered in the following portions of the encounter, Lorenzo Sonego has competed more superior and intrepid than Fonseca. Even if it is a condensed clash, I appreciate the presence of Fonseca in order to prove the evolution of the men's tennis. Wishing Sonego success in the upcoming round!

Che minchiata.... SONEGO È UN GIOCATORE CHE HA TUTTA LA MIA STIMA UN RAGAZZO STRAORDINARIO, MA IL PIU SCARSO SENZA OMBRA DI DUBBIO DAL PUNTO DI VISTA TECNICO.

[@Northia-yx0xy]

​@@paolocassina6031Sarebbe più scarso di Arnaldi e Cobolli? Mah, a me non pare e in quanto a testa e a tigna, Sinner a parte, mi sembra superiore anche a Musetti, sperando che finalmente quest'ultimo abbia migliorato tale aspetto perché ancora nella finale Davis è stato pietoso.

[@paolocassina6031]

@@Northia-yx0xy infatti testa e tigna sono le sue uniche armi per il resto, non ha il rovescio accettabile ne in top spin ne un decente rovescio in slice. Cobolli sul duro tolto Sinner, Berettini non si sa come si sveglia quel giorno e Musetti numero 15 al mondo ma sul duro per il momento non ha ancora di dimostrato da valere quella classifica, direi che è il secondo giocatore italiano sul cemento,Berettini permettendo. Cobolli è un giocatore che sta crescendo moltissimo e tecnicamente è tutt altro che male.

[@Northia-yx0xy]

@@paolocassina6031 Che giudizio tranchant. Oggettivamente il rovescio è il suo colpo debole, ma ha un buon servizio e un buon dritto e sotto rete se la cava discretamente. È alto ma rapido negli spostamenti e ha un fisico integro per un quasi trentenne. Avesse avuto solo tigna e testa non avrebbe raggiunto sei finali e vinto quattro titoli, roba che 20/30 anni fa avremmo fatto salti di gioia, considerando i lunghi periodi di magra. Vedremo cosa sarà in grado di fare Cobolli nei prossimi anni.

[@paolocassina6031]

@@Northia-yx0xy la tua analisi è perfetta e condivido ogni cosa che hai scritto, tranne il fatto che sia meglio di Cobolli, e da questo siamo partiti Sonego vale tre Cobolli, considerando che è giovane e da poco si è affacciato a certi livelli è migliorato sul duro molto velocemente, secondo me ha piu potenziale di Sonego, ormai trentenne.

[@stefangeorgiev5418]

That Fonseca narrative was so ridiculous same for draper for that matter. Rublev literally lost 5+ to members of top 90 at the late portion of last year now less than 2 months in 2025 we act like he is nearly untouchable and beating him is a groundbreaking achievement. I understand that people love their flashy slogans of calling everyone prodigy the next big 3 just because some random beat a representative of top 10 but in all fairness this is probably the weakest top 10 in like forever with the exception of djokovic sinner alcaraz and mayyybe Zverev. So yeah defeating rublev hurkacz ruud fritz has literally ghe same value as defeating berretini.
