Matteo Berrettini gives Italy lead against Australia in Davis Cup semi-finals

Italy, the defending champion, is only one victory away from a second Davis Cup final in a row. In the first match of the semi-final against Australia, Matteo Berrettini dominated Thanasi Kokkinakis in three sets (6-7 [6]6-3, 7-5), at the end of a fierce fight. A precious point which even seems almost decisive in this duel, since it is now Jannik Sinner who will enter the track. Facing him, it will be the 9th in the world, Alex De Minaur, a player that Sinner has always beaten in eight confrontations and who does not really seem equipped to shake him up on this fast surface.
