Nava, who was making his main-draw debut at the clay ATP 250, saved all three break points he faced and won 84 per cent (32\/38) of first-serve points against Berrettini, according to Infosys ATP Stats. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Super Emilio \ud83e\uddb8\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Nava clinches a huge win, taking down Berrettini 6-3, 6-4 in Santiago \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf1<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chile_open?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@chile_open<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ChileOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ChileOpen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QRnjsfTXu5\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/QRnjsfTXu5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ATP Tour (@atptour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atptour\/status\/2026384114257899926?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 24, 2026<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p> \u201cA super tough opponent in Berrettini, with a big serve,\u201d reflected Nava after his 87-minute victory. \u201cEspecially with the altitude, it was going to be an uphill battle, but mentally I was ready to do it and I was playing great. I was being positive and just competing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> Nava\u2019s win against World No. 57 Berrettini was his biggest by PIF ATP Ranking since he downed Zizou Bergs in Toronto last July. The 24-year-old American has now won 10 of his past 13 matches on Chilean soil after reaching the Santiago Challenger semi-finals last year before winning the Concepcion Challenger. Nava will play Francesco Passaro or Adolfo Daniel Vallejo in the second round. <\/p>\n<p> Elmer Moller also enjoyed a significant first-round triumph on Tuesday in the Chilean capital. The Dane downed Roman Andres Burruchaga 7-6(4), 0-6, 6-4 for his maiden ATP Tour main-draw win. Moller has risen 10 spots to No. 117 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings after his victory and will take on top seed Francisco Cerundolo for a quarter-final spot. <\/p>\n<p> Vilius Gaubas and Mariano Navone were the other players to advance early on Day 2 in Santiago. Lithuania\u2019s Gaubas sank home favourite Matias Soto 6-2, 6-3 to book a second-round meeting with Dino Prizmic. Meanwhile Navone advanced after Rio semi-finalist Vit Kopriva retired from the pair\u2019s first-round match with Navone leading 3-6, 6-0, 3-1. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Santiago Nava surges to Santiago shock against Berrettini February 24, 2026 Chile Open Emilio Nava defeats Matteo Berrettini&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-497771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
