Matteo Berrettini is gone: knockout with world number 132
Matteo Berrettini was defeated in the quarterfinals of the Phoenix Challenger
Matteo Berrettini’s crisis continues as he was resoundingly defeated in the quarterfinals of the Phoenix Challenger by world number 132, Russia’s Alexander Shevchenko, who won by the scores of 4-6, 6-3, 3-6.
The Roman tennis player appeared to be in great physical and mental difficulty, very firm on his legs and inaccurate in his strokes. Even his serve, his most powerful weapon, was not enough to lift him up.
After the defeat in the first round at both the Australian Open and Indian Wells, comes another setback that confirms the blue former top ten player’s bad moment, now number 23 in the Atp ranking.
