Berrettini: "Good Signs are Seen, the Spirit is Right"
The Italian player is showing confidence in recovering his best level with the Davis Cup as his main objective.
Despite being defeated in the quarterfinals of the 2025 ATP Vienna, this week Matteo Berrettini roared on the courts of the Austrian tournament. In this scenario, the Italian player, ranked number 61 in the ATP Rankings, achieved good victories against both Alexei Popyrin and Cameron Norrie, although Alex De Miñaur brought his Austrian adventure to an end.
The negative result did not deter Matteo Berrettini, who remains optimistic about the near and distant future. In the press conference following his defeat in the 2025 ATP Vienna, the Italian confessed to the journalists about his current feelings and objectives.
"There are good signs. After the effort of the past few days, I delivered a good performance. I didn't feel as lively as in the previous match, but it's normal. I need this kind of experience a lot to deepen my match count and thus form. I had my opportunities, and in summary, it was a pity," said Berrettini, as reported by Ubitennis.
Matteo Berrettini, on the right path
"Undoubtedly, the spirit is right; the decisions on the court were mostly the right ones. If all had been right, I would probably have won today, but after such a long break, after the doubts I had, this has undoubtedly been an important week, and I feel that I am progressing again, very, very quickly, considering where I started. I am very proud of myself and my team for the effort we are putting in, and obviously, I am disappointed because nobody likes to lose, especially those of us who practice this sport."
"We will decide on Paris-Bercy in the coming hours. I am supposed to play the qualifying rounds there, and it starts tomorrow, so it's not an easy decision. On the one hand, I am obviously very eager to play, but I also have to take care of these two meters. Then I am signed up for Metz, so I still have the last two tournaments of the year, and for me, perhaps the most important event of the end of the season, the Davis Cup. I would like to try to play as much as possible and arrive in good shape for that event."
