Lucia Bronzetti makes the feat, Elisabetta Cocciaretto does not. Fabio Fognini forfeits
Australian Open, results
Jannik Sinner è was not the only Italian star of the Italian night at the Australian Open. In fact, the feat of the day was achieved by Lucia Bronzetti, who defeated Vika Azarenka 6-2 7-6(2) in the opener of the first Slam of the season (with a record prize pool of 96.5 million Australian dollars).
In Melbourne, the Romagnola has thus eliminated the number 24 in the ranking and 21 in the seeding, twice triumphant in Melbourne (2012 and 2013) but capable of reaching the semifinals again two years ago.
Out instead Elisabetta Cocciaretto, No. 56 WTA, defeated 76(4) 64 by Russian Diana Shnaider, No. 13 in the ranking and 12 in the seeding after missing two set points in the first partial.
There will be no Fabio Fognini but Francesco Passaro to challenge Grigor Dimitrov in the first round of the Australian Open. The Perugia native, number 104, è took over as a lucky loser from the Ligurian, who was forced to forfeit before taking the court. In his first match of the year, in qualifying in Adelaide, he had retired after five games.

Marc Marquez knows he is dominating this year but he has also made several heavy mistakes: “They are my weakness, I will try to handle everything differently, but I made them all on Sunday and I have to avoid them if I want to fight for the championship. I will have to think about the races where I didn”t score points.
In Aragon he will be the favorite: “Dominating here like last year will be difficult since it was raining, it will be a faster weekend, with a more rubberized track and therefore more difficult. In Silverstone I wanted to defend the points lead, here I will try to fight for the victory. My feelings compared to last Gp are better”.
In the press conference Marco Bezzecchi, winner at Silverstone, also spoke: “It was great, I missed the podium. The bike gives very good sensations, I can’t wait to start again here and try to be competitive. We made a lot of steps forward, because we were also in Jerez and Le Mans but I made some mistakes. It might be difficult to repeat, but we want to be continuous”.
