Matteo Berrettini returns to the golden moment of Italian tennis and praises Jannik Sinner

After his debut victory in the Shanghai Masters 1000 against Australia’s Christopher O’Connell Matteo Berrettini takes stock of his physical condition after last week’s injury in Tokyo, frames his next opponent, Denmark’s Holger Rune, and returns to the great moment of Italian tennis by again spending sweet words for Jannik Sinner after the world number 1 narrowly lost a great final in Beijing yesterday to Carlos Alcaraz.

"Having such a large number of successful Italian players on the circuit has helped me regain my energy. What Jannik Sinner is doing è incredible and yesterday he proved it again. I, like I think all Italians, try to take inspiration".

"Last year è was one of the worst in my career as well as in my life, because you always suffer when you è are not able to do your job. That is why today I enjoy every moment spent on the field always trying to give my best”.

“I am convinced that I have the level to be able to come back and have my say. If anything, the problem was to see if I could find the consistency and physical integrity needed to be able to prove it”.

“Rune played well last week and we played each other a few months ago in Cincinnati. I expect a good battle, but I know I have the confidence to go out there and be able to expect to win the match".
