From red clay we move on to grass and Matteo Berrettini he immediately returns to the protagonist, reaching the semi-final of the ATP 250 Stuttgart 2024 and confirming himself as a fantastic interpreter of this surface. The blue, after today’s victory in the quarterfinals against the Australian James Duckworth 6-4 7-5, he virtually rose to 74th place in the world rankings with 730 points.
A leap of 21 positions therefore for the Wimbledon 2021 finalist, who started the week as number 95 in the world with 630 points. At this point dreaming costs nothing and the Roman wants to get to the end, also to accelerate his rise in the rankings. Tomorrow he will face one of the Tuscan Lorenzo Musetti and the Kazakh Alexander Bublik in the semi-final.
Access to the last act would propel him towards 65th place (overtaking Luca Nardi) with 795 points, while winning the title would allow him to sail close to 55th position at 880 points while waiting to move next week to Queen’s, one of his favorite tournaments within the Tour (he did a double in 2021-2022), or in Halle.
