After benefiting from the debut of the Spanish withdrawal Roberto Bautista Agut, number 85 Atp, in the middle of the first set on the score of 4-0, Berrettini (90th in the ranking) overwhelmed the Russian Daniil Medvedev, number 10 Atp and seventh series head, with the score of 6-0, 6-0, matured the only 51 minutes of play. For a place in the quarters the blue will face the winner of the match between the Brazilian Fonseca and the French Rinderknech.
“It’s certainly one of the best performance in my career. I think I was wrong only three shots and mostly against an annoying player like Daniil – the words of the Roman tennis player, n.90 of the Atp ranking, at the end of the match – My weapons worked and after the first game in which I canceled two break balls I felt I was playing better and better. I did not expect to win this, it is obvious, it does not happen often but at the same time I kept high my concentration because I know that tennis is a strange sport and so I continued to push and I achieved this victory”.
“There was a risk of losing concentration and I knew everything could change around a couple of points. I always hope to make a good race in tournaments, but the reality is that I need matches like these, I need to win, lose and digest defeats. I need time and confidence, things that build up during the workouts and I hope the time to live a good tournament arrives very soon”, concluded Berrettini.
