Italian Matteo Berrettini eliminated former champ, Andy Murray, from Great Britain at the 2022 US Open men's singles tennis tournament Friday.
Berrettini beat Murray in four sets: 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (1-7), 6-3 in the round 3 match.
The-26-year-old will take on Spanish Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the next round.
