(ANSA) – ROME, 02 JUL – Too much Rafa Nadal for a Lorenzo Sonego who had to overcome himself and instead was less incisive than usual for long stretches with the forehand and not very effective in the first serve. The Spaniard, who appeared in increasing form, thus won the first match with the Italian team in three sets (6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in 2 hours and 3 ‘of play) in the third round of Wimbledon.
After keeping his serve in his first serving at the start of the game, Sonego gave his opponent nine consecutive games, also compromising the second set. The best Sonego was seen in the third. Nadal immediately broke his serve, then consolidated the break, but the Turinese resisted by shortening to 2-3. The Majorcan slowed down the intensity of the shots a little, but not the accuracy and at 2-4 in his favor the match stopped a few minutes to close the roof of the Central and turn on the lights. At the resumption Sonego kept the serve and then returned the break: 4-4. But Nadal immediately returned to 4-5, going to beat for the match, which ended 6-4. (HANDLE).
