Rome - Germany's Alexander Zverev crashed out of the Italian Open on Tuesday with a 7-5, 7-5 loss to Italian wild card Matteo Berrettini in the second round.

The 33rd-ranked Italian survived four break points in the second set, breaking the German in the twelfth game to close 7-5 to the delight of the home crowd.

The 22-year-old Zverev had been seeded fourth in the final clay-court warm-up before the French Open later this month, and was playing his first game having received a first-round bye.
