The match between Shang Juncheng and Lorenzo Sonego is scheduled to start at 19:20 (Italian time) on Court 10.

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.                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"data-pubblicazione-bottom\" wp_automatic_readability=\"7\">\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n                                \u00a9 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n                                This article is automatically translated                            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script class=\"oncookielaw_5_accepted\" type=\"text\/plain\">\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n            n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n            if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n            n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n            t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n            s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',\n            'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '613826478728879');\n                \/\/ questa var serve anche in altro file\n        impostazioni_testata.fbq_swg_promo = \"556738118336305\";\n        fbq('init', impostazioni_testata.fbq_swg_promo);\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
