Bellucci is in: the Italian opens the Cincinnati tournament with a victory against the American Svajda, a success that was far from guaranteed considering he faced a home player. Today it’s the turn of two more Italians: on one side there’s Sonego, who still has to play against Shang; on the other, Berrettini, who will face Droguet. The Italians need to redeem themselves after a poor tournament in Montreal, and perhaps relaunch their ambitions ahead of the US Open.
The Italians’ schedule
Both matches will be played tonight. The match between Shang Juncheng and Lorenzo Sonego is scheduled to start at 19:20 (Italian time) on Court 10. Berrettini, on the other hand, plays on Tony Trabert Stadium 3, not before 18:10.
Where to watch the matches on TV and streaming

Head-to-heads
Berrettini and Droguet have never played against each other in an ATP match, but they did face off in the Challenger final in Francavilla al Mare in 2024: the Frenchman won in straight sets. Sonego, on the other hand, has already played with Shang: the two met only once, last January, with the Chinese player winning in straight sets. They were also supposed to meet in Winston-Salem in 2024, but on that occasion Shang withdrew.
