Best Slam Upsets Of 2020

2) Daniel Altmaier def. Matteo Berrettini, Roland Garros, Paris, R3, 3 October 2020

Spoiler:

Daniel Altmaier has long idolised Stan Wawrinka. It makes sense — the German has a powerful one-handed backhand like the Swiss, and he also celebrates some of his best shots with a big ‘Allez!’

“'Allez' is coming a little bit from my idol Stan Wawrinka. When I was watching him, he always says, 'Allez, Stan,” Altmaier said. “I copy [him] a little bit because I like to say, 'Allez, Dan.' That's little bit the connection.”

In the third round at Roland Garros this year, he played like his idol, too. The qualifier had only two tour-level wins (both at 2017 Antalya), but he looked like a grizzled veteran against seventh seed Matteo Berrettini. The Italian is one of the biggest hitters on the ATP Tour, and it’s not often he gets outclassed.

But Altmaier looked like the experienced star, blasting away, especially with his backhand. Berrettini hit his share of winners, too, but his German opponent was unfazed. The 22-year-old eased past Berrettini 6-2, 7-6(5), 6-4 in two hours and 15 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier to become just the fifth qualifier since 2000 to reach the fourth round at a major.

“I was always believing I can be here, I can perform good, I can play well and beat those guys,” Altmaier said. “I was working really hard with my team to be in this position, to feel stable, to really play well and compete against the top guys of the game.”

Fittingly, after clinching his victory, Altmaier pointed his index finger at his temple — a homage to Wawrinka.

Widzę, że Niemiec próbuje sił w kwalifikacjach do Buenos. Mógłby coś wreszcie zagrać, od RG bez szału.
