US Open 2022. 1/4 final
Casper Ruud (Norway) – Matteo Berrettini (Italy) – 6:1, 6:4, 7:6 (7:4)
Note that the 1st set only finished in 28 minutes. Matteo couldn’t find his tennis for a long time, he was able to make the 1st timeout only at the end of the second set. In the 3rd game, the Italian served the set, but left the service and soon lost both the game and the match at the tie-break.
For Kasper, this is the second semi-final of the 2022 Grand Slam tournaments. He played in the final of Roland Garros in June, where he was unlucky to lose to Rafael Nadal. According to the results of this US Open, the Norwegian could be the 1st racket in the world. To do this, he needs to get a trophy or play in the final of the tournament, but then an additional condition appears – Carlos Alcaraz should not go to the final.
In the semi-finals, Ruud will play the winner of the match, Nick Kyrgios (Australia, ATP 25) – Karen Khachanov (ATP 31).
