Lorenzi upsets Ramos-Vinolas at Sydney tennis meet
Sydney, Jan 10 (IANS) Italian tennis player Paolo Lorenzi on Wednesday stunned Sydney International first seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas of Spain in the second round, while Spaniard Feliciano Lopez advanced to the quarter-finals after beating Diego Schwartzman of Argentina.
Lorenzi needed two hours and three minutes to defeat his Spanish rival, world No. 22, 6-3, 7-5, reports Efe.
“I think today I was playing a really good match. We are good friends so it was not an easy match … but yeah I’m happy,” said the 36-year-old Italian victor.
“This tournament for me is really, really strong — I am not seeded but there is not a big difference between the ranking of the other players,” world No.45 Lorenzi added, according to the tournament’s official website.
Lorenzi is set to play the quarter-final against Russian Daniil Medvedev, who defeated Jared Donaldson of the United States 6-3, 4-6, 7-5.
In the same round, Lopez for his part will face off against Alex De Minaur of Australia in the quarter-finals after he knocked out Schwartzman 6-3, 7-6(1).

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
