“I am sorry…”. The sentence of Jannik Sinner a Matthew Berrettini, after the victory of the South Tyrolean against the Roman, in a difficult moment and collapsed to number 38 in the standings as a result of the many physical problems of recent months. Equally beautiful was Berrettini’s response, whose clean eyes were the mirror of equally clear words: “And what…” In the end, the 21-year-old tennis player beat the 2021 Wimbledon finalist in two ages and an hour and a half game: 6-4/6-3 Now Sinner is expected in the round of 16 by former world number one Andy Murray.
Now the challenge against Murray, the winner of Monfils-Vukic in the quarterfinals
The match will be played today, Thursday 10 August, on the Italian night, and in the event of a victory Sinner would find a more than accessible quarter against the winner between the revived Monfils and Vukic, with the prospect of then meeting Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals. The derby against Berrettini – an unprecedented one given that the two Italians had never faced each other – was of a good level and fought especially in the first set, with the Roman playing well and having many opportunities to make the difference in his favor (he had seven untapped breakpoints in the first and fifth games), finally breaking serve in the tenth game. From that moment on, Sinner never seemed to lose control of the situation, raising his serve percentages and no longer allowing break points in the second set. The hug at the end of the match was then beautiful, before that exchange of comments to soften the Italians who love tennis.
