The wonderful journey of Daniel Altmaier at the French Open 2020 continues: After three successful games in qualification and victories against Feliciano Lopez and Jan-Lennard Struff, Altmaier has now for the first time inflicted a defeat on a man from the top ten: The German defeated Matteo Berrettini, number eight in the world, with 6: 3, 7: 6 (5) and 6: 4 and meets either Pablo Carreno Busta or Roberto Bautista Agut on Monday.

From Altmaier's point of view, the match started perfectly, he quickly led 3-0 and won the first set 6-2 after a second break. The sticking point in the match was probably Berrettini's service game with a score of 5: 4 for the Italian in the second round: Altmaier managed the rebreak, won the tiebreak very closely.
