Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Musetti and Matteo Berrettini are among the top Italian players that are helping to make history for their country. For the first time, we have 7 Italian players that reached the second round of a slam.
This achievement is just the confirmation that the Italian contingent is becoming stronger and stronger not only with its top players.
Here the fantastic 7: Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Berrettini, Andreas Seppi, Gianluca Mager, Fabio Fognini, and Marco Cecchinato.
The previous record was having 6 Italians in the second round. That happened last year at the Roland Garros and in Wimbledon back in 2018.
There will be 7 🇮🇹 italian players in R64 at @rolandgarros.
