Berrettini was booed for his behavior in the match against Buse in Rio de Janeiro
An authentic thriller unfolded in the duel between Matteo Berrettini and Ignacio Buse, resulting in a victory for the Peruvian after four hours of play and rain interruptions. The match was halted at the beginning of the third set for almost an hour, resuming later under normal conditions. However, with Buse leading 5-2, raindrops started to fall, and Berrettini insisted on stopping the match. The chair umpire deemed it insufficient to suspend the match, causing frustration for the Italian who refused to continue playing. Ultimately, he was compelled to resume and yielded to a focused Buse, cheered on by the Brazilian crowd who didn't hesitate to boo Matteo.
It's raining, Buse is up 5/2 in the third set, and Berrettini doesn't want to play it.
