The 1st two sets between the Italian opponents were very close, and both were decided after tiebreaks, but unfortunately for Berrettini, Sinner won them both. In the 1^st set, no one was able to break his opponent serve and Jannik triumphed at the tiebreak 7 to 3 points. In the 2nd set, both converted 1 break, and again, the tiebreak decided the set, and again, Sinner won it, this time 7 to 4 points.

That’s when everyone taught this will break Matteo mentally and Jannik will win easily the 3^rd set and close the match, but exactly the opposite happened and Berrettini won the 3^rd set 6-2 after converting 2 break chances from 3 opportunities.

The 4th set, however, reached a tiebreak again after 1 break from each player, and again, Sinner won it 7 to 4 points and closed the match 3-1 sets as he won all of his sets after tiebreaks.

Jannik Sinner is now 14-0 against fellow Italian players.

Undefeated.
