Against a very solid German opponent, Sonego had to fight hard, more than once, to win his points. As evidenced by this rally at 5-5, 15-15, on Altmaier's serve.
Indeed, while the German was clearly dominating the rally, the Italian surprised everyone by executing a splendid crosscourt forehand passing shot.
What followed? Six set points saved and a qualification into the final four where Britain's Cameron Norrie awaits him.
