The ITF tournament in Bolzano is already over for the South Tyrolean tennis players, but one prominent name is still in the running. Jacopo Berrettini, the brother of Matteo Berrettini, is in the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Jacopo is three years younger than Matteo, who is one of the best tennis players in Italy. Matteo was already number 6 in the world and reached the final of Wimbledon. Jacopo is not quite as successful as his brother, but he is still ranked 427th in the world. And now he is causing a sensation in Bolzano.

A tough fight

In the round of 3, Berrettini had a thrilling fight with the Moroccan Elliot Benchetrit, which the Azzurro finally won 6:7, 6:4 (7), 5:XNUMX. This puts Jacopo in the quarterfinals, where he will face the Italian Mariano Tammaro on Thursday.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday the last South Tyroleans said goodbye to Bolzano. Patric Prinoth and Erwin Tröbinger were eliminated in the doubles against Lilian Marmousez (France) and Oleksandr Ovcharenko (Ukraine), Manuel Plunger and the Italian Stefano D'Agostino also lost against Gabriele Maria Noce and Noah Perfetti (both Italy). The South Tyrolean trio had already been eliminated in the singles.
