MELBOURNE : World number seven Matteo Berrettini overcame a gripping fightback from teenage Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz to edge a heavyweight slugfest 6-2 7-6 4-6 2-6 7-6 on Friday and book his spot in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
"He's impressive and he's proved it playing matches like this. He showed everybody his potential, but luckily today I won. Congratulations to him." But the Spaniard, whose best Grand Slam performance came at last year's U.S. Open when he reached the quarter-finals, would not give up. The 25-year-old was, however, able to continue playing without much discomfort though he was unable to find a way past his opponent's power and supreme athleticism.
