ATPTuesday, 25 January 2022 at 15:00
Matteo Berrettini survived a spirited comeback from Gael Monfils to become the first Italian male to reach the semi-finals at the Australian Open.
In an absolute epic, Berrettini took it 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 3-6, 6-2 to keep his title hopes alive.
He fired in 50 winners and eased through the decider after Monfils had mounted a spirited fightback. Improving his head to head record to 3-0 against Monfils as a result, he will now face Rafael Nadal who took down Denis Shapovalov earlier today.
He has now reached the semi-finals of 3/4 Grand Slams with his run to the Wimbledon final being his best yet.
He could yet be joined by compatriot, Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals who will face Stefanos Tsitsipas on Wednesday aiming to break further ground.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
