The blue reaches Berrettini among the eight best players of the tournament. Historic result: the last blue in the quarterfinals was Caratti 31 years ago
MELBOURNE. Super Jannik Sinner: tames the Australian Alex De Minaur in three sets and reaches the quarter-finals of the Autralian Open (7/6 – 6/3 – 6-4). A historic result for Italy that thanks to yesterday’s qualification by Matteo Berrettini, who had also eliminated Pablo Carreno Busta in three sets, finds two Azzurri in the quarterfinals. Suffice it to say that before the two, he had reached this point of the Caratti Grand slam tournament in 1991, and that previously only two other Italians had succeeded in the enterprise: De Stefani in 1935 and Pietrangeli in 1957.
Sinner imposed his superiority in the second set, after having had to fight to the end to get the better of his opponent, who played with the favor of the public, in the first that he won at the tie break 7-3. Flash guard in the following two games with the break immediately won in the first game in the second set, and in the second game in the third. Road cleared for the blue who thus reaches the quarters.
