Australian Open: Sinner in quarters despite medical issue

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 20 - Italy's world number one continued his Australian Open title defence on Monday, beating Denmark Holger Rune's 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals despite felling unwell.
    Having lost the second set, the 23-year-old needed a medical timeout in the third, amid intense heat in Melbourne.
    But he showed his characteristic mental strength to ride out the difficult moment and bring home the result.
    Sinner's compatriot Lorenzo Sonego is also in the last-eight after beating 19-year-old American Learner Tien 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time. (ANSA).
