    Italian Open: Berrettini, Ruud Set Third-round Clash In Rome; Giron Stuns Fritz

    Lexus ATP Head2Head: Matteo Berrettini quelled a strong fightback in the second set, as he channelled the energy from a boisterous crowd to overcome Jacob Fearnley at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia on Saturday, earning an impressive victory upon return to Rome.

    The home favourite, who is making his first appearance at the Italian ATP Masters 1000 since 2021, conjured some inspired shot-making to move past Fearnley 6-4, 7-6(0) and reach the third round. Berrettini rallied from 3-5 in the second set and saved two set points on return — both with volley winners — before completing a hard-fought one-hour and 55-minute win.

    In other early action on Saturday, Marcos Giron stunned countryman and fourth seed Taylor Fritz 7-6(4), 7-6(3) to reach the third round at a clay-court Masters 1000 for the second time in his career (Rome 2022). The 31-year-old trailed 0-4 in the second set, but displayed expertly measured court craft to work his way back in and frustrate his higher-ranked opponent, sealing his victory after one hour, 45 minutes.
