Matteo has always helped me, and I am grateful to him. Now, if he were to ask me for something, I would be ready to help him because I care a lot about him. A player like Matteo was sorely missed at the circuit. His support during the Davis Cup, even though he was away from the court, was essential for me.
“I thank him so much for his words. He was very close to me, and his support represented a light in the darkness, hope in difficult times. I will use all this positive energy for my tennis and to do well this season.” Following the meeting with the head of state Sergio Mattarella, Berrettini then recalled the extraordinary moment that his sport is experiencing in Italy: “It’s a beautiful period for tennis.
He was very close to me after Malaga, even though we are very different in character. We are chasing a dream, but I was sure he would be able to do great things. I went through a tough time, but also thanks to his words, I feel very optimistic about the future.” This Atp tool allows players who have been sidelined by injuries in the last six months to return to the field using a “frozen ranking,” which will allow them to participate in tournaments without having to go through qualifications.
For Berrettini, the average ranking over the last three months before the stop – those that are taken into consideration to protect the ranking – would place him around the 35th position. Excellent news in view of Miami and Indian Wells. February 3, 2024 (updated on February 3, 2024 | 12:31)
