On January 28, the match of the 1/2 final of the Australian Open will take place, in which Italian Matteo Berrettini will play with Spaniard Rafael Nadal. The forecast for this match is given by the famous Russian tennis player Anna Chakvetadze in the past.
It's not the first time the 25-year-old Italian has reached such a high stage at Grand Slam tournaments. At Wimbledon, he even reached the final. What can Matteo do against the experienced Nadal? Firstly, of course, if his first serve goes, it will be very difficult for Rafa. But it should be noted that in recent matches, Berrettini's first serve was quite unstable. Perhaps fatigue can overwhelm him. Matteo will try to reduce the draws, and try to avoid a "shootout" from the back line.
Nadal will strive to knock out his opponent with his crosses under the backhand, and here Berrettini is not nearly as formidable as from the forehand. And, although Rafael knows his opponent's weaknesses well, Anna Chakvetadze believes that the Italian will be able to concentrate and play with a small number of mistakes. The expert puts a large individual total on the games won on Matteo.
