Berrettini Into Gstaad Semi-finals, Upsets Lopez

Italian Matteo Berrettini advanced to his first ATP World Tour semi-final on Friday at the J. Safra Sarasin Swiss Open Gstaad with an upset win over eighth seed Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-4, 6-3 in 64 minutes. The World No. 84 won 30 of his 32 first-service points against the 2016 champion (d. Haase).

“It is an unbelievable feeling,” said Berrettini. “I played a great match and served really well, with breaks of serve early in each set. I was really focused as I knew just how experienced he is.”
