How do you understand tennis?
“My tennis life is full of adventures, of good and bad moments. Nothing good comes without going through all the bad. It’s like a roller coaster, that’s why I love it. Every day something new happens, and I try to enjoy it as much as I can, because I won’t be able to play tennis for too long. The older I get, the more I appreciate what I do.
Something I like about tennis is that literally every week there is a new opportunity. That’s what I tell myself when things get complicated, that in the next week I have a chance to do better. My tennis is quite aggressive. I’m working on bringing it more online. I want to be the one who takes the initiative on the track”.
His team

Goals for 2022
“Going into this new year, I think my goals have not changed too much. I want to live new experiences, which means that I will have done better than in previous years. The goal is just to get better.”
Sobre Matteo Berrettini
“He is very loyal, he always supports me. I like having a partner from the same industry because we travel to the same place many times, we enjoy more time together. I always hope we win on the same day, so we don’t have to pretend we’re not happy.”
