Djokovic lost his third match in a row, which last happened in 2018 as part of an injury-hit season

Currently ranked 35th in the ATP Rankings, Berrettini, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 6 in January 2022, navigated a few tense moments, including facing break points in the sixth game of the first set, before securing a 7-6(4), 6-2 victory in one hour and 33 minutes. While Berrettini entered the tournament unseeded, Djokovic, the third seed, was widely favored to make a deep run, especially after withdrawing from his Australian Open semi-final against Alexander Zverev last month due to a hamstring injury.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal, is currently competing in the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia. He will face long-time rival Novak Djokovic for the final time in the third-place match on Saturday. Nadal lost to fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals, while Djokovic fell to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner 6-2, 6-7 (0-7), 6-4. Alcaraz and Sinner will meet in the final.

The Italian secured a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 victory over the Serbian great, becoming the first man to win more than six titles in a calendar year since Andy Murray claimed nine in 2016. This one-hour and 37-minute win marked Sinner's personal best, bringing his season total to 65 victories.

Nadal won 22 Grand Slam singles titles during an unprecedented era he shared with his rivals in the so-called Big Three, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
