He played against Denis Shapovalov, who had beaten him twice before, but this time Matteo won in Germany. Grass courts suit Berrettini well, and he showed his skills again. Shapovalov had moments of brilliance but couldn’t keep up consistently .
Berrettini started slow but gained momentum as the match went on. Shapovalov missed early break points, and Matteo took advantage by breaking his serve later. Fans might think this win shows Berrettini’s resilience.
Match Performance:
Matteo didn’t rely on aces; instead, he applied steady pressure to dominate most games. He made fewer mistakes during rallies, which helped him secure the first set 6-4. In the second set, he broke Shapovalov’s serve again and cruised to another 6-4 win.
The final score was 6-4, 6-4 for Berrettini. This week in Stuttgart has been promising for him despite a tough previous match. He seemed more comfortable this time and earned a spot in the quarter-finals.
Winning here before gives Matteo confidence as he prepares to face either Ben Shelton or James Duckworth next.
