The Matteo Berrettini that we admired a Wimbledon, author of a historic feat for Italian tennis, got lost. It does not hide the reasons for this decline, on the contrary. Berrettini he is very critical and severely analyzes what he has seen a Indian Wells, one of the fundamental tournaments this season, also in view of the appointments with the Grande Slam.
Matteo Berrettini breaks the silence after the stop at Indian Wells
“I couldn’t find the right adrenaline, the right tension and so obviously I’m slower, I serve less well, I do less harm”, so “I have to turn the page. I will manage myself so that I will play in Vienna, Paris, hopefully in Turin with the Davis, this is the program ”.
What exactly the Roman tennis player alludes to is unequivocally explicit, even if the physical problems accused in the summer had led him to decide for an unexpected forfeit at Tokyo Olympics, right behind the Games:
“Certainly – underlined the 25-year-old from Rome – it is not the best performance of the year, more than anything else I think a question of nerve energies. I couldn’t find the right adrenaline, the right tension and therefore obviously I’m slower, I serve less well, I do less harm ”.
Berrettini: it is a mental question
Berrettini does not hide his difficulties at the moment: as a professional attentive to every component of his performance, he decided to reveal how it was also for Naomi Osaka, one of the taboos that have affected a lot in tennis among the champions of the ranking:
“It’s a mental issue, I have played many games this year with a very good attitude, with a very good energy. Unfortunately or fortunately this thing hadn’t happened for a long time ”.
Berrettini on Sinner: it’s impressive
The number 7 in the world also commented on the season of Jannik Sinner and his run-up at Atp Finals:
“It is impressive that he is doing this at this age. It would be great if both of us arrived in Turin. I think I’m not saying a lie when I say that we both had a very good year. He has even won three tournaments. I think I deserve it and I think he deserves it too. But there are obviously other players ready to take our place away. So as long as he’s not mathematician we still don’t have to celebrate ”.
Regarding the derby that ended in the second round of Indian Wells, Berrettini he added: “I saw him and I gave him good luck, I would have liked it too, it would have been a nice thing but let’s hope maybe play against in some important tournament”.
