On the Canadian hard court the Piedmontese is defeated 6-3 6-4 by Humbert after a very tight second set. Fabio on the field with the German Struff
Lorenzo Sonego’s adventure begins and ends immediately at the ATP Masters 1000 in Toronto. On the Canadian asphalt the blue, fresh from the Tokyo Games, was in fact defeated in the first round by the French Ugo Humbert in two sets (6-3 6-4). Balanced first set, decided in the fourth game, where Sonego in the service was unable to score even a point. Then we went on blow by blow, without even a break point, until the final 6-3.

Definitely more drawn the second. Lorenzo is good in the seventh game to cancel three break points from Humbert, but he loses his serve in the ninth and ends up under 5-4. The tenth game is forbidden for the faint of heart. With the Frenchman in service, Sonego goes straight to 40-0, the Frenchman sends three break points back to the sender, but that’s not all. The Turin player has two more, nothing to do. Then he rolls up his sleeves and cancels a match point, has another ball for parity but Humbert proves to have very strong nerves even at 23 years old. He gets a second match point and this time he makes no mistake. The blue hopes are now placed in Fabio Fognini, in the field against the German and number 46 Atp Jan-Lennard Struff.
