Mattia Belluci has delivered a new surprise at ATP Rotterdam 2025 by defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinals. These were the Italian's words at the press conference: "I wasn't enjoying myself as much as against Medvedev, so I thought about what I needed to change to rediscover that feeling. I felt like I was playing great tennis, and that helped me raise my level. I enjoyed it, even though I was facing a lot of adversity. That's what I'm trying to do here, and it's working, so I'll try to do it again tomorrow."

"My coach told me to stop overthinking on the court. He advised me to be more free, and I think I'm doing quite well this week. I know I'm playing against amazing players, and every day is a big challenge because I'm still not at this level. I know I can play two or three matches like this, but now I have to keep my energy high. I don't think about the money I earn or the ranking points: I'm only focused on stepping onto the court knowing I can play matches like this."

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Bellucci: "No pienso en el dinero que gano, ni en los puntos del ranking"
