Matteo Berrettini breaks curse: Novak Djokovic goes knockout.
Matteo Berrettini beats Novak Djokovic in Doha
After four defeats in as many previous matches, Matteo Berrettini gives himself a decidedly great satisfaction: in fact, the Roman beat Novak Djokovic and thus advances to the second round of the ATP tournament in Doha, the Qatar Open. 7-6(4), 6-2 the final score that rewards Berrettini, always effective in the most difficult moments and able himself to corner his opponent in the key moments.
Rather linear the trend of the first game fraction: neither contender manages to snatch a game on his opponent’s serve, inevitable the tie-break that sees Berrettini immediately go ahead 3-0, then controlling the next points until the final 7-4 that gives the Roman the first set.
In the second fraction Djokovic got off to a bad start and, dropping a game on his serve, saw Berrettini pull away first to 3-0 and then to 5-2. The’eighth game è the good one: Djokovic defuses a first match point with a bunt ball, but Berrettini's determination è stronger and Djokovic goes down on his second match point.
Berrettini had faced Djokovic, before today, on four other occasions, always being defeated: the most prestigious precedent dates back to the final of the 2021 Wimbledon tournament, in which the Roman managed to win the first set before losing, despite himself, the next three. His other defeats came at the 2019 ATP Finals, Roland Garros 2021 and the US Open the same year. Today è the rematch finally came.

Marc Marquez knows he is dominating this year but he has also made several heavy mistakes: “They are my weakness, I will try to handle everything differently, but I made them all on Sunday and I have to avoid them if I want to fight for the championship. I will have to think about the races where I didn”t score points.
In Aragon he will be the favorite: “Dominating here like last year will be difficult since it was raining, it will be a faster weekend, with a more rubberized track and therefore more difficult. In Silverstone I wanted to defend the points lead, here I will try to fight for the victory. My feelings compared to last Gp are better”.
In the press conference Marco Bezzecchi, winner at Silverstone, also spoke: “It was great, I missed the podium. The bike gives very good sensations, I can’t wait to start again here and try to be competitive. We made a lot of steps forward, because we were also in Jerez and Le Mans but I made some mistakes. It might be difficult to repeat, but we want to be continuous”.
