Us Open, the program of day 5: Berrettini-Murray and then Serena

The appointment is not to be missed and the schedule smiles on Italian fans: Matteo Berrettini against Andy Murray, third round of the US Open, will open the program on the main Flushing Meadows court, Arthur Ashe. So I start at 6 pm, with the match broadcast – like all those of the tournament – on Discovery + and Eurosport. The two have met three times in their careers: the Scotsman won the first challenge, on the Beijing hard court in 2019, while the Italian won the grass at Queen’s (in 2021) and Stuttgart (in the final this year. ), two tournaments won by the pupil of Vincenzo Santopadre.
