Melbourne, January 26, 2022 – Matteo Berrettini versus Reef Nadal, to write the history of Italian tennis. The blue player will face the Spaniard in the semifinals of the Australian Open and will be the first Italian representative ever to play this round of the Australian Grand Slam. The two will fight in the early Italian morning of Friday 28 January; the order of the two semi-finals will only be decided on Thursday, with the first scheduled no earlier than 4:30 am and the second no earlier than 9:30 am, on the corresponding evening in Melbourne. Berrettini arrives at this point of the tournament after having played some really important matches from the point of view of mental and physical effort, such as the quarterfinals won against My son and the third round won against Alcaraz, both in five sets. Nadal also had to sweat a lot to defeat Shapovalov, in five sets, in the previous round; both will now have two days of rest to recover their energy.
