Berrettini`s experience as a player showed as he raised his game in the tiebreak with Alcaraz undone by forehand errors.

The Italian sealed the contest on his second match point when Alcaraz committed a double fault.

Recollecting and speaking on almost letting slip his two-set lead, Berrettini said, “I felt confident, and that momentum was on my side in the third set, but then I got broken.”

“My energy wasn’t right in the fourth set, and in the fifth set, I just started to fight for every point. In every match, something happens (like the ankle), but I fought through it.”

After his performance Carlos Alcaraz’s said, “When I’ve played against the top players, apart from Rafa (Nadal), I was close,” said Alcaraz, who reached the US Open quarterfinals last year.”

“I think I have the level to play against the top players. I’m getting close, getting closer every tournament I play.”

Carlos’ coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero who is a former world no.1 said he was getting closer to the game’s elites.
