Berrettini eliminates Juanma Cerúndolo, the last Argentine

Matteo Berrettini has advanced to the quarterfinals of Roland Garros, defeating the last remaining Argentine in the singles draw, Juan Manuel Cerúndolo. The Italian secured a hard-fought victory in three sets, with a final score of 6-3, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (6), in a match lasting two hours and 32 minutes.

This win serves as a form of revenge for Berrettini, following the earlier elimination of his compatriot Jannik Sinner by Cerúndolo. Berrettini himself had a challenging third-round match, where he saved two match points against another Argentine player, Mariano Comesaña.

Berrettini's presence in the later stages of the French Open marks a significant return for the Italian, who had been absent from the clay-court Grand Slam for the past five editions due to injuries. His performance signals a strong comeback on the tour.

In the quarterfinals, Berrettini is set to face either his fellow Italian, Matteo Arnaldi, or American Frances Tiafoe, who are competing in their respective fourth-round match. The draw opens up possibilities for further Italian success in the tournament.
