Matteo Berrettini has a great desire to recover quickly from the bad injury he suffered at the US Open to be a great protagonist in the end-of-season events. The Italian tennis player seems to have his sights set above all on the Davis Cup, the Finals of which will be played in the second half of November in Malaga.Berrettini was in Bologna in recent days to support the Italians who played against Chile and Sweden, with the aim of gaining a pass for Spain.
The former world number 6 of the ATP ranking spoke to Sky Sport, reassuring his fans about his recovery from injuries: “The recovery is going well.
My injury is less serious than expected, fortunately or unfortunately I have had many of these sprains and I know what the process awaits me.
I’m better, after everything that happened this year I felt more injured inside than outside.
I had to recover especially from this point of view and I must say that these days in Bologna helped me a lot to find the right sensations again. The thought of being in Malaga is an extra motivation.”
Then on the event at the Unipol Arena: “Since I was a child, I have always seen Davis as a competition in which the team that creates a very strong group wins.
That’s what we said to ourselves with Volandri and the boys, we’re trying to do it .
It doesn’t matter who plays, it is necessary to be united for a single objective. I must be selfish, I came here also for myself and to feel that positive energy.
An incentive to play in Malaga and recover even faster.”Matteo Berrettini then concluded the interview by criticizing the Italian team: “If we think about last year’s Canada which won from a comeback, I think this year Davis didn’t start well for us here in Bologna, but then we qualified . And now we all know that we are a very dangerous team.”
