While Matteo took less than two hours to reach the third round at Roland Garros, the youngest of the Berrettini family, Jacopo (532 Atp) fought for three sets and eventually got the better of Ramkumar Ramanathan (216 in the ranking): 5-7 , 6-1, 6-4 the score. «My life is a bit complicated – says the twenty-two year old Roman -. Throughout the game, I think I played better, even if I suffered from his serve: there are times when it is very difficult to answer him and when he left me something I was less lucid. Of course, especially in the first set, I relaxed too much in my batting shifts, but I think it’s normal and part of my growth path. I am happy for the reaction and to have brought home a good victory ».
Today the blue will have to deal with Marco Trungelliti, who eliminated the other blue Lorenzo Giustino 6-4, 6-2. «I expect another battle – concludes Berrettini -. It’s good in Biella, people are nice to me and I hope to pay them back on the pitch ». In the other two matches yesterday, the Next Gen Holger Rune (class ’03) took revenge on Gastao Elias. The Portuguese had defeated him in the two recent precedents, yesterday he surrendered 6-3, 7-6 (3). In Biella he always arrived at least in the quarters, then beaten only by those who would have raised the trophy. Alexandre Muller did it again by winning 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2 over Frederico Ferreira Silva. And today the eighteen-year-old Dane will find himself in front of him, more and more convinced of his means. The other two quarters (we leave at 13.30) are Olivo-Meligeni and Zuk-Etcheverry.
