SCEGLI ORA Lorenzo Sonego began his journey at Wimbledon against 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 now awaits a possible derby with Musetti (or Basilashvili) in the second round. Let’s explore who this tennis player is, including his career and curiosities. Lorenzo Sonego is an Italian tennis player born in Turin on May 11, 1995 (he is 30 years old). He started playing at the age of 11 with Gipo Arbino, who has coached him to this day. Initially in love with soccer, he took his first steps in tennis under the influence of his father. He debuted in a professional tournament in 2013, with a defeat in the Italian Futures F7, and made his main draw debut in 2016. Among his best achievements are reaching the round of 16 at the Roland Garros in 2020 and 2023, as well as the same stage at Wimbledon in 2021 and the round of 16 reached today in Melbourne. At the ATP 500 in Vienna in 2020, he handed Djokovic the worst defeat of his career (6-2, 6-1). Sonego was one of the protagonists of the Davis Cup victory in 2023. His playing style is quite similar to Sinner’s: a powerful serve and good baseline play, although he does not shy away from volleying at the net. His favorite shots are the forehand and serve. Lorenzo Sonego currently holds the 47th position in the ATP ranking. His best ranking was 21st, achieved on October 4, 2021. Jaime Faria, born in 2003 in Lisbon, currently holds the 116th position in the ATP world ranking. His best ranking was 87th, reached in February 2025. His record at Wimbledon is reaching the first round this year. Lorenzo Sonego has interests beyond tennis. One of them is Torino, a team he has always supported and played for in his early years in the sport. Another great love is reggaeton music, which he loves to dance to. His interest in music also led him to write a song titled ‘Un solo secondo.’ Lorenzo Sonego has been in a relationship with Alice Petruccioli since 2019. She, who mainly shares travel photos on social media, works as a biological nutritionist. ‘Tennis is such an individual sport, there’s no team, and in the end, I didn’t feel connected to anyone. Maybe a bit with Draper and Sonego because we’re friends.’ These are the words of Jannik Sinner, who, upon returning from suspension, confirmed the friendship that binds him to Sonego. The two, who among other things won the Davis Cup together, are very close, so much so that Sonego was the first tennis player Sinner trained with upon his arrival at the Foro Italico.
