Nothing could be done for Matteo Berrettini. The Roman tennis player was defeated in the quarterfinals of the Sardegna Open by Hubert Hukacz . The most noble challenge of the Monte Urpinu tournament, a match between two former top ten players, a repeat of the 2021 Wimbledon semifinal: back then, the Italian won, this time the Pole prevailed, coming from behind, at the end of a match decided by a break in each set. The final score was 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 for Hurkacz, who will face Argentine Burruchaga in the semifinals, who emerged victorious in his match against the American Giron with a score of 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 .
The other semifinal will feature a Ligurian derby, pitting Matteo Arnaldi against Gianluca Cadenasso . Arnaldi defeated Portuguese Nuno Borges 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 in the third set , reviving a nearly lost match with a late breakthrough. Cadenasso, on the other hand, was the tournament's big revelation, defeating Dutchman Jasper De Jong 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 . It was another tough match, in which the Italian – who with this result moves into the world's top 200 – squandered the chance to close it out in straight sets by coming back from 5-3 down in the second set.
A great show therefore on the Monte Urpinu courts, with four very hard-fought quarterfinals, all decided in the third set.
