Lorenzo Sonego began his trip to Wimbledon against the Portuguese player Jaime Faria. He was the first Italian to take the court on the second day of the main draw in London. In three sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-2), he defeated his rival and is now waiting for a possible derby with Musetti (or Basilashvili) in the second round. Let’s explore who is this tennis player, including his career and curiosities. Lorenzo Sonego is an Italian tennis player born in Turin on May 11, 1995 (he was 30 years old). He started playing at the age of 11 with Gipo Arbino, who has led him to date. Initially in love with football, he took his first steps in tennis under the influence of his father. He made his debut in a professional tournament in 2013, with a defeat in the future Italian F7, and made his main debut in 2016. Among his best achievements, he reached the round of 16 at the Roland Garros in 2020 and 2023, as well as the same stage in Wimbledon in 2021 and the 16 -year -old round today in Melbourne. At ATP 500 in Vienna in 2020, he presented the worst defeat of his career to Djokovic (6-2, 6-1). Sonego was one of the protagonists of the Davis Cup victory in 2023. His style of play is quite similar to that of Sinner: a powerful service and a good basic game, although he does not hesitate to fly to the net. His favorite photos are right and serve. Lorenzo SONEGO currently has the 47th position in the ATP ranking. Its best ranking was 21st, reached on October 4, 2021. Jaime Faria, born in 2003 in Lisbon, currently occupies the 116th position in the world ranking of ATP. His best ranking was 87th, reached in February 2025. His record in Wimbledon reached the first round this year. Lorenzo Sonego has interests beyond tennis. One of them is Torino, a team for which he has always supported and played in his early years in sport. Another great love is reggaeton music, on which he likes to dance. His interest in music also led him to write a song entitled “Un Solo Secondo”. Lorenzo Sonego has been in contact with Alice Petruccioli since 2019. She, who mainly shares travel photos on social networks, works as a biological nutritionist. “Tennis is such an individual sport, there is no team, and in the end, I did not feel connected to anyone. Maybe a little with Draper and Sonego because we are friends. These are the words of Jannik Sinner, who, on his return from suspension, confirmed the friendship that binds him to Sonego. The two, who, among others, won the Davis Cup together, are very close, so much so that Sonego was the first tennis player who was trained when he arrived at Foro Italico.
