Qualifier Learner Tien will face Lorenzo Sonego next as he continues with his historic debut at the Australian Open. They will battle in the fourth round with the winner taking on Gael Monfils or Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.

Lorenzo Sonego has qualified for the fourth round at a major for the fourth time. He has been defeated in his previous three such ties and will be wary that he doesn’t suffer another defeat.

The Italian defeated Fabian Marozsan in four sets in the third round. He has won five of his seven matches this season, moving seven places to 48th in the live ranking.

Learner Tien is having his best-ever performance at a major. Before arriving in Melbourne where he is making his debut, the American had never won a match at a Grand Slam. Now he is one win away from a quarter-final berth.

Tien is on a six-match winning streak. In this run, he shocked fifth seed and three-time Melbourne finalist Daniil Medvedev in five sets. That win built up his confidence even more and in the next match, he saw off Corentin Moutet in straight sets.

Advancing to this round has catapulted the 19-year-old a massive 41 places, into a career-high 80th place in the live ranking.
