Leaner Tien will face Italian opposition in the fourth round of the Australian Open, after the American qualifier continued his stunning run in the men’s singles by beating Frenchman Corentin Moutet in straight sets on Saturday.

Having earned a shock win over three-time finalist Daniil Medvedev in the second round on Thursday, Tien saw off Moutet 7-6, 6-3, 6-3 on Rod Laver Arena, to storm into the last 16 at Melbourne Park.

Tien savoring “amazing” Australian Open run

Making his debut at the Australian Open, the Californian teenager had never gone beyond the first round of a Grand Slam singles event before this year’s tournament Down Under.

“It feels great - obviously this has exceeded my expectations,” Tien said post-match, adding: “To be in the second week [of the tournament] is amazing.”

Tien takes Nadal record

By beating Moutet in Melbourne, Tien has become the youngest man ever to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open men’s singles. The 19-year-old has broken a record set in 2005 by 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal, who won the Australian Open twice.

Who will Learner Tien play in the Australian Open fourth round?

Tien, currently ranked at No. 121 in the world, now advances to a matchup with Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego, who defeated Hungary’s Fábián Marozsán in the third round on Saturday. Sonego, the world No. 55, prevailed by three sets to one on John Cain Arena, winning 6-7, 7-6, 6-1, 6-2.

What is Tien’s record against Sonego?

This will be the first time Tien has met Sonego on the ATP Tour.

When is Sonego vs Tien?

The exact scheduling of the fourth-round match has not yet been confirmed, but Sonego and Tien can be expected to face off on Monday, January 20, 2025.
