The words of Vincenzo Santopadre

Vincenzo Santopadre è returned to the consensual separation with Matteo Berrettini, after 13 years of success, in an interview with Corriere dello Sport. "È it was a little shock, a little trauma, è undeniably it is soì – he admitted -. I think Matteo and I have been good at protecting our relationship, not affecting it in any way".

"È it was a professional estrangement. Sometimes è it is necessary to make certain decisions, but it does not mean that tomorrow we cannot go to dinner together" added the Roman coach.

On the choice of the Azzurri’s new coach, Francisco Roig, for years on Rafa Nadal’s team: "È a very experienced coach: è he has been a very good tennis player (No.60 in singles and No.23 in doubles; ed.)  and he knows the sport very well both technically and on a human level. In short, he knows the subject".

"Sì tonight for example he will be at the dinner of the agonists of the Aniene (he says laughing, ed.). I have taken a rest to weigh every aspect of the offers received. In a couple of weeks I will choose. Believe me, I have not yet decided" concluded Santopadre on his future.
