Lorenzo Sonego exits the stage in the second round of the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati. The Italian, number 88 in the ranking, was beaten in two sets by Frances Tiafoe, seeded number 17 in the draw, with a score of 6-3 6-4. Sonego suffered his sixth defeat against a top 30 player this season. His last success against a top 30 on outdoor hard courts dates back to the victory against the then no. 13 Tiafoe at the Masters 1000 in Shanghai 2023. This time the American is smiling and in the next round he will face his compatriot Learner Tien, number 12 ATP. The first victory against a top 30 player was instead given to the Portuguese Jaime Faria, number 79 in the world, who beat Ben Shelton, champion in Montreal, with a score of 6-4 6-4. Faria, fresh from qualifying, will now have to deal with the Australian Adam Walton, number 98 in the ranking.
