Matteo Berrettini reveals the key to his success

The words of Matteo Berrettini

Matteo Berrettini spoke after reaching again the quarterfinals of the “Swiss Open Gstaad: "I was surprised when he breached me at the beginning – explains the Italian – I had never faced him before. This è something that can happen when you don’t know your opponent. He è started very strong, playing in an incredible way: I asked myself for a little more energy and I found it. Also today there was a lot of wind, conditions a bit’ tough, but then going into the match I got better and better”.

“It’ is undeniable that I have good memories here, the audience has kind of adopted me and it’ was nice to come back and play here: this tournament’ organized great, I feel good and comfortable. The challenge tomorrow? Against whoever it is obviously my serve will be the key but it will be equally important to respond. Even today, when I found consistency and continuity è in response, è turned the match around. Hanfmann è a hard hitter but Auger è favored”.   

“I’m happy because I was able to react, especially with the attitude – he concluded then in the press conference -. I’m fine physically, I don’t want to say it too loud otherwise it looks like I’m pulling it – jokes Matteo – I feel fit, I feel that I have a lot of desire to play, to commit myself, to be on the field and sweat. And today in my opinion è was the demonstration. Here when it’s so windy it è s not so easy to play, the matches are a bit ugly for’ this è tennis and you have to be able to adapt. Who è more solid, who è more ready in the important moments wins the match”.
