NEW YORK - Big-serving Italian Matteo Berrettini took another step in his breakthrough season as he beat Frenchman Gael Monfils 3-6 6-3 6-2 3-6 7-6 at the U.S. Open on Wednesday to reach his first career Grand Slam semi-final.
“Right now I don’t remember any points. Just the match point,” Berrettini said on court. “While I was playing I thought, this is one of the best matches I ever saw. I was playing, but I was watching also.” But Monfils ran out of tricks and it was Berrettini who leaned on his powerful serve to prevail and become the fourth Italian man to reach a Grand Slam semi-final in the Open Era.
That brought more comfortable playing conditions and gave a boost to Monfils who during an earlier changeover had poured cold water over his head.
