Matteo Berrettini loses again in the first round in Cincinnati, but is up from Montreal.
Matteo Berrettini still out in the first round. After his early elimination in Montreal, the Roman tennis player also immediately said goodbye to the Cincinnati Masters 1000: host Frances Tiafoe won in three sets after a real battle that lasted 3 hours and was decided at the tie-break (partials 7-6 4-6 7-6).
Unlike Canada, the Blue showed important signs of growth, but he made too many mistakes and paid dearly against an opponent in great form. Tiafoe will face Korda in the next round, while Berrettini licks his wounds ahead of the Us Open, where he will try to make up for this summer’s bitterness.
