The Spaniard took three hours and 25 minutes to earn the win at Rod Laver Arena, avenging his straight-sets loss to Sonego in their only other career meeting at the 2021 Cincinnati Masters.

The 20-year-old Spaniard, who fired 43 winners, including 12 aces, will next face the winner of an ongoing battle between Indian qualifier Sumit Nagal and Chinese wildcard Juncheng Shang.
