Matteo Berrettini ahead in the Madrid Master 1000. On field 4 of Caja Magica, the 29-year-old Roman, n.31 of the ranking and 30 of the seeding, on the field from the second round like all 32 seeded heads, beat 6-7, 7-6, 6-1 the American Marcos Giron, n.45 ATP. Berrettini managed to overcome even a physical problem, always for back pain, at the beginning of the third set. He asked for the intervention of the physiotherapist and made himself massage and treat on the back, exploiting all the ‘Medical Timeout’. Returning to the field, the blue took to play without problems, surprising Giron that after two sets pulled he sold the third almost without fighting. Berrettini’s next opponent will be the British Jack Draper, n.5 in the world, who has eliminated the Dutch Griekspoor Tallon in two sets.
Darderi Ko and withdrawal with Tiafoe
On the other hand, Luciano Darderi stops in the second round, who retired on 7-5 3-1 in favor of the American Frances Tiafoe, n.16 of the tournament. Other results of second round: Grigor Dimitrov (Bul, 15) b. Nicolas Jarry (Chi) 6-3 6-4.
