Matteo Berrettini, always at the service of Italy. The tennis player from Rome has dealt with a very complicated year due to constant injuries that have prevented him from showcasing the great tennis he has in his repertoire. However, as it happened last year, as the Davis Cup finals approach, he manages to display his best game for the benefit of his country.

It was evident in the first point of the Davis Cup semifinals between Italy and Belgium, where the Roman gave no chance to Raphael Collignon (6-3, 6-4) and secured the first point for the neighboring country, which is one win away either in the singles match of Flavio Cobolli against Zizou Bergs or in the decisive doubles to repeat the final. And Matteo Berrettini spoke about the level he always shows when wearing the 'azzurra' colors.

Displeased with how the second set became complicated

"Honestly, I believe the crowd is an important factor because we are playing in Italy. It's the Davis Cup, but I don't think I won because of that. I think, in the end, I played bad tennis. I should have won the second set much earlier. It's hard to say 'should have,' but I was a set and a break up, and could have gotten a double break. I was playing very well."

"I could have done a bit more on the first break point. But that's tennis. I accepted it. He started playing better. The balls got a bit bigger. It was harder to win a point from the service line and the baseline. I think he was very motivated because it was the Davis Cup. The crowd also helped him. I think that's the beauty of the Davis Cup. Honestly, I would say I played a very good match."

About the beginning of his relationship with Flavio Cobolli

"When I was 14, I went to a tennis club in Rome called Aniane. I started working with his father and with Vincenzo, who obviously became my coach for a long time. At that time, Flavio was eight. That's where we met. I remember him and his brother, Guglielmo, who is younger. Vincenzo and Stefano used to organize small tournaments, weekend tournaments, where they played the best of three sets but up to four games. I played many of them in Rome."

"These two kids were always there playing tennis, enjoying the day. We also played a bit, having fun with them. It's crazy that we are on the same team now. I look at him now, and he's all grown-up, so that means I'm even older, but it's still a nice feeling. I'm very excited thinking about this relationship over the years."

The origin of his great sliced backhand

"When I was 17, I injured my left wrist. It got very inflamed. I could play with my right hand. Vincenzo told me, 'Let's take this opportunity to improve something we haven't worked on. Let's improve your sliced backhand.' Since then, it has become a very powerful weapon, firstly, because at the beginning I didn't feel confident with my left wrist and, secondly, because I felt that in today's tennis, it is very important to vary, especially on a court like this. Nowadays, I think I do it very well."

"So it's something that if you play with spin or with a forehand shot, you mix in a sliced shot, hit flat. The opponent doesn't know what you're going to do. You can go down the line, short, long. I feel it has been quite successful. I also acknowledge that when I abuse it, when I use it too much, I start running a bit more. I don't like running, so I prefer playing with two hands."

Matteo Berrettini is happy and hopeful about his current level of tennis

"Right now, I feel very confident. I was training very well. When I came back and didn't play for a month and a half, I started training with the best players on the circuit. I felt as if I had never stopped. I believe my tennis is there. It has always been there. Tennis is so beautiful. The beauty is that it's a mix of factors. It's a mix of confidence, physical condition, mental condition, overall conditions in the tournament."

"It's no secret that I always struggle a bit more towards the end of the season indoors. I like playing more on clay. I like playing more on grass. This year I completely skipped that part. I think my tennis is there. I proved it to myself this year when I played against Draper, when I played against Djokovic, when I played against Zverev, de Minaur, Fritz. Those were really good matches. I believe my tennis is there; I just need a bit more consistency. I never stopped believing in my level, to be honest," says a Matteo Berrettini who could achieve his third consecutive Davis Cup and who will allow him to end a year with many ups and downs on a high note.
