2025 Australian Open R16 - Lorenzo Sonego versus Learner Tien

[helterskelter]

First slam QF awaits for the winner of this one. Sonego's been to R4 three times previously. Breakout tournament for Tien. Sonego already took out Fonseca (who had beaten Tien twice at the Next Gen finals), but Tien will be full of confidence after the Meddy win.

Good opportunity for both players, and the QF is winnable, too, although I think either player would be outsider in it.

sonegoat might not have the patience to endure the grueling rallies against learner

Sonego has no chance, a victory for Learner Tien (Tien meaning money in english).

Sonego beated next gen champ. Now will face next gen runner up.

Funny enough, for a question of match up, Tien will be a greater challenge for the italian experienced player.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Sonego will choke as the big favourite

 

[Tallawah Tennis]

Sonego's through to his first GS quarter finals, good achievement. Interesting that he went through 2 bright hopes to get there by beating Fonseca and Tien.
Good start to the new season for Tien.
