Italy He has before him a tennis generation with very high aspirations. With Matteo Berrettini established among the top ten, Jannik Sinner taking giant steps in practically every tournament and a plethora of great squires such as Lorenzo Sonego, Fabio Fognini or a still inexperienced Lorenzo Musetti, transalpine tennis wants to continue making people talk. The great work at the training level, with thousands of tournaments and opportunities in the lower echelons of the circuit, is beginning to bear fruit. Today is a historic day for Italian tennis: for the first time in almost 50 years (49, to be exact) will have two players in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam on a male level, going back to the times of his golden generation. And it is that since Paolo Bertolucci Y Adriano Panatta arrive at the rooms Roland Garros in 1973 they did not place two players in that round, a fact, besides that it had only happened four times before. There is no better recognition for the great state of health of a nation that wants to be a protagonist.
For the 5th time and 2nd in Open Era 2 italian players reached QFs in a Slam
