ATPThursday, 05 September 2019 at 01:07
Matteo Berrettini needed Wednesday 5 sets and a tiebreak to become the second Italian man to reach the US Open semi-finals.
The Italian had some nerves in the first set and Monfils dominated on serve and took the first set with 6-3. After the first nerves were past Berrettini took set two with 6-3 and set three with 6-2. Monfils used the support of the crowd to take control of set 4 by converting his fifth breakpoint in the fourth game. With 6-3 Monfils balanced the game again.
In an exciting fifth set, we saw the no. 24 seed serving for the match at 5-4. Again the nerves were too much for Berrettini and Monfils broke serve again to get back to 5-5. Finally at 6-5 in the tiebreak we saw the Italian complete his 34th match win of 2019.
M. Berrettini - G. Monfils 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5)

- 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".
