Earthquake in Vienna.
Aged 25 and 42 at ATP, his best career ranking, Lorenzo Sonego did not really attack his quarter-final favorite against Serbian world number 1 Novak Djokovic on Friday.
And yet… The winner of the Antalya tournament in 2019 didn't just beat the “Djoker”, he swept him away.
One hour and nine minutes and two small sets (6-2 6-1)!
This is only the Serbian's second defeat in 2020, after the Roland-Garros final against Rafael Nadal (6-0 6-2 7-5).
If he had to stop his course in the round of 16 at the US Open, against the Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, it was only because of ... a disqualification, after having sent (involuntarily) a ball right on a linesman.
The organizers had applied the rules to the letter.
Logic.
