The 26-year-old Italian reached the finals at Gstaad and quarterfinals at the US Open this year. Earlier, Matteo Berrettini defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime while representing Team Europe in Boston.
On the other side, the 25-year-old American got the better of World No 3 Alexander Zverev at Indian Wells and No 4 Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of the Montreal Masters this year.
