Lorenzo Sonego indeed caused many difficulties for Andy Murray. The 27 -year -old player from Italy even pushed the world's No. 1 in the world to be led.
In set 1, Sonego won the break in the first game to soon create an advantage. That advantage was maintained by him to the end of the set. Murray could not reclaim the break and accept losing with a score of 4-6.
Set 2 witnessed Murray better. After successfully defending the gaming game, the player from the United Kingdom won the Break to lead 2-0. Andy Murray continued to win the next 3 game circuit and create a distance of 5 points. All Sonego do in this set is just a winning game.
Set 3 happens really balanced. Both players successfully defended the gaming game and was forced to 'fight' to determine the victory. Murray, despite leaving Sonego, leads 0-3, but immediately records a 6-point circuit to lead 6-3 before the end of the match with a delicate pear.
“Everything is really difficult. We have never played or practiced with each other before. I don't know exactly how the game will take place and take a while to get used to his play.
Sonego is an energetic player and makes good use of opportunities. He plays adventure tennis. Luckily, the middle of that tie-break series, he made a few mistakes and I turned to have the opportunity to turn the situation, ”Gulf Times quoted the world's No. 1 as saying.
Overcoming Sonego, Andy Murray will compete with Alexander Zverev in the second round of Qatar Open 2023. Zverev is the No. 4 seed of the tournament.
