Berrettini defends the South American tour: "This people put their heart into everything they do"

Matteo Berrettini started his 2026 season at the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, where he leaves after a win and a loss. Despite his current form, far from his best, the Italian wanted to highlight the passion he felt from the people upon returning to compete in the South American tour.

"Italians, in a way, are also Latin. We see it every time we come to play here, we feel how people put their hearts into everything they do, they put their soul into it. Then that warmth is felt when we compete, that's why I wanted to come back here, I hadn't been to Argentina since I competed in Córdoba at 17. I have loved the atmosphere, I would have liked to play more matches, but I have to accept what has happened," stated the Roman tennis player.
