Davis Cup: Matteo Berrettini thanks the fans and praises the blue collective

The words of Matteo Berrettini

After leading Italy over Belgium on the second day of the Davis Cup group stage, Matteo Berrettini hotly analyzed his comeback success (3-6 6-2 7-5) against Alexander Blockx.

"Today I was not in my best form in terms of hitting, but what matters in Davis è bringing home the result, beyond everything. Of course you canò play better. Without the support of the crowd and my teammates I probably would have lost the game. They deserve all the love I can give them" began the Roman tennis player at the microphones of "Eurosport".

"I did not know what to expect from this opponent: I did not go in with the energy of the other day. I threw my heart over the hurdle. I am super proud of what we are doing: Italy has very strong players, Cobolli è one of them, good luck to him. It's exciting to see him training" added the world number 43.

"Volandri calls this team a family. With some of these guys I grew up together, I have known them since I was a kid. To get to these levels and play for Italy è a dream come true," commented Matteo Berrettini.
