Men’s singles, day session
Berrettini advances to second straight quarterfinal
No. 13 seed Matteo Berrettini opened Sunday’s action with a five-set grind over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to advance to the quarterfinals. The Italian found himself down a set and a break in the second but rallied to score a 7-6 win in a tiebreak to tie the match at 1-1.
The pair then split the third and fourth sets before Berrettini took control of the match in the fifth to secure a 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win in 3:46. Davidovich Fokina appeared to be hampered by a knee injury sustained in the final set, but was able to finish the match. Berrettini advances to the quarterfinals for a second straight year. He lost to finalist Novak Djokovic in the 2021 quarterfinals.
Ruud eliminates Moutet
Berrettini will next face No. 5 seed Casper Ruud on Tuesday. The 5th-seeded Norwegian topped unseeded Frenchman Corentin Moutet in four sets. Ruud cruised in the opening sets, 6-1 and 6-2 before Moutet bounced back for a 7-6 (7-4) win in the third to stay alive. But Ruud reasserted control in the fourth to complete the 6-1, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 win and set up a top-13 matchup with Berrettini in the quarterfinals.
