Matteo in good shape in Florida, tomorrow it’s Sinner’s turn against Dzuhmur: the hunt for Alcaraz continues
Who knows if the rebirth of Matteo Berrettini? Meanwhile, the Italian has started his adventure in the tournament in Florida well clearly beating Muller in two sets (6-4, 6-2). Berrettini will now face Bublik, a difficult opponent, but for Matteo it is important to continue his journey in this tournament so as not to lose points given that last year he reached the quarter-finals.
The forehand and the serve
Berrettini’s best shots were finally effective: the forehand and the serve. The break that shifts the needle from Berrettini’s side comes already in the third game and then Matteo no longer allows any more chances in response to Muller and closes the first set 6-4. Berrettini’s performance in the second set was even more authoritative, the Italian got a break twice and only in the last game did he risk something by canceling four break points for Muller and then closing the match on the first match ball. Tonight Berrettini will face number 10 on the draw Alexander Bublikagainst whom he lost his only precedent in 2021.
It’s Sinner’s turn
