US Open, Matteo Berrettini doesn’t discount Nicolas Jarry

Berrettini doesn’t discount

Matteo Berrettini pulls no punches and passes the first round of the U.S. Open with ease.

Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry does what he can against the Roman, who, however, breaks his serve often and willingly and who, when he beats, leaves no margin to his rival: 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 the score in favor of last year’s Wimbledon finalist.

Since 1968, that is, since the tournament was opened to professionals, three tennis players have won it five times: the Americans Jimmy Connors (1974, 1976, 1978, 1982 and 1983) and Pete Sampras (1990, 1993, 1995, 1996 and 2002) and the Swiss Roger Federer, who won it from 2004 to 2008. In 2020 it was won by Austrian Dominic Thiem, who in a comeback beat Alexander Zverev in the final in five sets by the score of 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6. Last year Novak Djokovic, who came within a whisker of a Grand Slam thanks to successes in Australia, France and England, succumbed in the final against Medvedev.
