An all-Italian clash in the second round of the US Open sees Lorenzo Sonego taking on sixth-seeded Jannik Sinner. The winner of this encounter will go on to face either Tomas Martin Etcheverry or Stan Wawrinka in the third-round. Sonego was able to overcome Nicolas Moreno de Alboran in the first round in straight sets to advance to this stage. Sinner also cruised through his first round matchup, disposing of German Yannick Hanfmann 3-0. It’s been an inconsistent year for Lorenzo Sonego, who currently holds the 32nd position in the official ATP rankings. If the season ended right now, the Italian would finish with a losing record for the first time since 2013 when he was 18 years old. Sonego has currently won 21 and lost 22 of his 43 matches in 2023. His best finish this calendar year was a pair of fourth-round appearances at the French Open and the Miami Open. Sonego doesn’t have the best career record on hard courts, managing a winning percentage of only 50% compared to 61% on his preferred clay surface.

Sinner is at his all-time high ranking of 6th. He’s had a fantastic 2023 which has resulted in winning 44 of his 58 total matches (75.8%). The 22-year-old was eliminated in the first round of the Cincinnati Open but had been crowned champion of the National Bank Open just three days prior. Sinner defeated Alex De Minnaur in the final to win his second competition of the year in what was his fourth final appearance. The promising Italian pro also made the semis of Wimbledon and Indian Wells to accompany runner-up finishes at Miami and Rotterdam. Sinner excels on hard courts as the surface complements his hard-hitting, baseline style of play very well. On the year, Sinner has won 20 of his 25 hard court matches and holds a career winning mark of 67% on this surface.
