Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian man to reach the United States Open semifinals since Corrado Barazzutti in 1977, defeating Gaël Monfils, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (5).
It has been a breakthrough season for Berrettini, 23. He is two months and one day younger than his fellow semifinalist Daniil Medvedev, making him the youngest Open semifinalist since Novak Djokovic in 2010. Berrettini, part of a rising cohort of Italian men, broke into the top 50 in February and has won two titles this year.
