No.7 seed Matteo Berrettini defeated No. 19 Pablo Carreno Busta (7-5, 7-6, 6-4) in the fourth round to book his place in the quarter-finals of this year's Australian Open. The Italian pro proved nothing if not efficient, landing 28 aces on the road to victory.
The performance has earned Berrettini a thrilling showdown against 35-year-old Frenchman Gael Monfils, who put on an equally impressive display to see off Miomir Kecmanovic (7-5, 7-6, 6-3) last Sunday.
Monfils, who is married to top women's player Elina Svitolina, will relish his first quarter-final at Melbourne Park since 2016. It will also be a chance to avenge his fifth-set tie-break defeat to Berrettini in the 2019 US Open quarter-finals.
