Berrettini first Italian men's US Open semi-finalist since 1977
Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian man to reach the US Open semi-finals in 42 years on Wednesday to set up a potential showdown with title favorite Rafael Nadal.
Berrettini, the 24th seed, matched Corrado Barazzutti's run to the last four in 1977 after outlasting Frenchman Gael Monfils 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7/5) in three hours and 57 minutes.
