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.
