Matteo Berrettini finds himself: "How hard I worked to be here"

Matteo Berrettini has reached the final of Challenger 175 in Phoenix. The Roman tennis player, who is slowly regaining his tennis after his long injury, è also managed to fold Aleksandar Vukic in the semifinals 7-6, 7-6, at the end of another hard-fought match (the third out of four won on a comeback). Now the last act, the final against Nuno Borges of Portugal.

After the match Berrettini expressed his satisfaction: "&It has been a long time since the last tournament, these seven months when I could not compete have been long. There have been many sad moments, but lì I found the energy thinking about the injuries. I am trying to have fun and enjoy the moment".

The work with swimming coach Francisco Roig is going well: "I have worked really hard in these seven months in which I could not compete: today I just tried to enjoy every moment on the court and I am really happy. I know I can play better than thisì".

The new coach gave him a new spirit: "I fought on every point, after all, my coach has worked so many years with Nadal".
