The words of Matteo Berrettini

Matteo Berrettini in the match he lost to Scotland’s Andy Murray experienced an on-court ailment that worried everyone. At the microphones of Sky Sport, the former Italian number one clarified what happened: “The performance è was quite good, I didn&#39t feel well already before the match, I don&#39t really know what I have. I felt very weak, I didn’t eat practically anything. Given what happened in the past, the thought of not taking the field was not even to be considered".

"Despite all this, I played a’very good match on the level of tennis quality. At a certain point I really felt a big drop and then credit to him becauseé in the end è always theì, solid and to put in trouble. Even in the third set, when things looked a little bit like’ turning, he played three crazy points to not get broken. I am sorry, but now there will beà rest".

Fatigue for Phoenix mayò have affected: "I would have thought anything except getting to the Finals with so many games in a row and different conditions. È it was quite a shock to the body, but eventually you have to adjust. Definitely there are many positive things, at the tennis level I am playing well and there’è still a lot to margin. I didn’t think after 7 months out that I’d be so ready. Of course I am sorry to lose this match".
