Number five in the world Rafael Nadal it’s ours Matteo Berrettini currently at number 7 in the world they will meet in the semifinals of the Australian Open for the second time in a Grand Slam semifinal. The 35-year-old Spaniard and the 25-year-old Italian met in the semifinals of the 2019 US Open and this new meeting will bring a series of coincidences linked to that previous duel.
Aside from the fact that the match will be played again in the semifinals, Berrettini reached that duel once again having faced Frenchman Gael Monfils in the quarter-finals, just like in the US Open 2019. And already as it happened in that tournament, there is a possibility that Daniil Medvedev will be the rival in the final for the winner of that bout.
The duel between Nadal and Berrettini is scheduled for the day session of the program on Friday.
