The Chilean Nicolás Jarry could do little against the solvency of the Italian Matteo Berrettini, 14th in the ATP, being eliminated in the first round of the US Open.
the national tennis player Nicholas Jarry (123° ATP) could not celebrate in his debut in the main draw of the US Openwhere he faced the Italian in the first round Matteo Berrettini (14°).
The great favorite to win the duel was solid in his game and, with partials of 6-2, 6-3 and 6-3, he eliminated the Chilean and advanced to the second round of the American Grand Slam after 1 hour and 49 minutes. of match.
From the outset the European was dominant, after breaking in the first game of the opening set. Berrettini showed no weaknesses and remained firm in his service, without giving the ‘Prince’ a chance to break.
On the other hand, the Chilean had problems with his serve and, in the seventh game, he gave up his game to be 2-5 down and, behind the scenes, lost the partial 2-6.
Already in the second assault, just as it happened in the first, Nicolás Jarry suffered a break at the entrance and was at a disadvantage throughout the quarter.
In the ninth game, when the Chilean fell 3-5, he lost his serve again and the set was decided 6-3 in favor of Berretini.
Then in the third set, the Italian broke in the fourth game and began to pave his victory: he did not give Jaime Fillol’s grandson a chance and defined the duel with another 6-3 in his favor.
Bitter farewell for ‘Nico’, who was coming off a great week in qualifying for the last Grand Slam of the season but had no luck in the draw.
For the second round of the US Open, it is worth noting, Berrettini will face the winner of the duel between the Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry (86°) and the French Hugo Grenier (119°).
