Earthquake from Italy

Berrettini, 28, made his ATP main-tournament debut at the Italian Open after earning a wild card in the preliminary wild-card tournament. He was also the top seed in the eight Italian men competing for the final spot in the inaugural Next Generation ATP Finals in Milan. In 2018, at the Swiss Open Gstaad, Berrettini won his first ATP title, defeating Roberto Bautista Agut in the final. Berrettini won his second ATP singles title, defeating Filip Krajinović in the final of the 2019 Hungary Open. A week later, Berrettini continued his form by reaching the final at the Bavarian International Tennis Championships. At the 2019 Italian Open, Berrettini surprisingly defeated Alexander Zverev in the round of 32, which was Berrettini's first victory over a top 5 ATP player... Those were also memorable milestones in Bavaria's career. However, the tennis world once again had to mention him when on April 8, 2025, Bavaria once again defeated Zverev, who was holding the position of "above a thousand people, below one person" in the first round of Monte Carlo 2025.

In the match that took place in the first round of Monte Carlo 2025 against the player who had won against him 6 years ago, Alexander Zverev showed his superiority in the first set. The German player broke his opponent's opening serve to gain an advantage in the following games. After that, despite great efforts, Berrettini could not prevent Zverev from winning 6-2.

In the second set, Berrettini played extremely well against Zverev in each of the first games. Without losing his serve, the Italian player also took full advantage of his opponent's mistake in game 6 to gain an important break-point, thereby winning 6-3.

Continuing his momentum, Berrettini continued to show his excellent form against the world number 2. And the earthquake appeared in the deciding set. After being broken in game 7, Zverev reclaimed the break in game 10. However, the number 1 seed lost focus in game 11, thereby allowing Berrettini to gain a break-point and Zverev had to accept the defeat with a score of 5-7.

With a 2-1 victory over the 2025 Monte Carlo No. 1 seed, Berrettini has shown that “nothing is impossible”. Hopefully, Berrettini will continue to write the fairy tale with earthquakes in the next round.
