There are two previous matches between Musetti and Berrettini: the first dates back to the final of the’ATP 250 in Naples, when the Tuscan won in two sets (7-6 6-2), while the second, more recent, smiled on the Roman, who won in two sets in the semifinal of the’ATP 250 in Stuttgart.

“Matteo is a friend, a teammate with whom I have shared many emotions, such as winning the Davis Cup. It will be a special match, not easy, but the goal is to win” Musetti told Sky Sports microphones ahead of the challenge.
