The quarter-final of Croatia Open 2023 between Jaume Munar and Lorenzo Sonego will take place on July 28.
Jaume Munar has shown consistent improvement at the Umag tournament. In 2021, he exited in the first round, followed by reaching the second round in 2022. Now, in the current year, he has made it to the quarterfinals with wins over Albert Ramos and Fabian Marozsan. This marks the first time since 2019 that he has reached quarterfinals in consecutive weeks of ATP events, achieving the same feat last week in Gstaad before losing to Pedro Cachin, the eventual champion, in straight sets.
Lorenzo Sonego started strong against Marco Cecchinato but faced challenges in the second set, ultimately winning 6-1, 7-6. He appeared nervous due to his recent winless streak, with four consecutive losses, including unexpected ones against Albert Ramos and Zhizhen Zhang. Despite showing high-quality tennis this year, he has only reached two quarterfinals and struggled to advance further. Sonego’s main issue lies in replicating his top-level performance against stronger opponents when facing less-favored ones.
