Matteo Berrettini returns to ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo 2026, one of the most special venues during his last season, with a clear objective: add victories to polish his confidence and avoid a possible setback. The Italian is at clear risk of dropping out of the top-100, and the luck of the draw has not been entirely benevolent to him: beyond his match against Roberto Bautista earlier today, only a hypothetical victory against Daniil Medvedev in the second round would assure his return to the top-100.

All this, of course, in the final week before the players' list for Roland Garros 2026 is released: if Matteo does not want to get into trouble and be on the lookout for withdrawals until the last minute, he practically needs a couple of victories to get out of the predicament. This is the short-term horizon for a guy who, on the verge of turning 30 and devastated by injuries, does not lose confidence in himself... and, in statements to La Gazzetta dello Sport, fully believes in making a comeback to what he once was.

"In March 2024 I was ranked 140th in the world, so I was in a much worse position... and I managed to return to the top 30. It is clear that there comes a moment when the champion's ego takes over you, and you start asking yourself questions, but right now I have no doubts: I have to be patient, which was never my best quality. With age, at least, you become wiser," confesses a Matteo facing this new stage of his career with several novelties.

The first novelty is internal and refers to his perspective, to his way of facing each week on a ruthless circuit that barely offers a break. "I've realized that tennis is my life, that flame that motivates me still burns. I had to change perspective: now I try to enjoy every second on the court, without letting the pressure overwhelm me." The second major change refers to his work team: the captain of the ship is now Thomas Enqvist, with Alessandro Bega as second in command, a combination (supercoach with an Italian coach, former player, with a lower profile) that has worked with names like Jannik Sinner.

"We have built the ideal team, a team that can walk with me on the path I have set for myself: I train and I am happy, we look at the same horizon, which is to be competitive again and return to the highest level of this sport, while being able to appreciate, at the same time, all that I have already achieved."

Berrettini reveals what he needs to do to get closer to his best level: a very honest reflection

If confidence and ambition remain, the results are still not reaching what the Roman is aiming for. No one better than him to reflect on what is lacking in his tennis, where that point of leakage that needs to be solved is: "What I lack is consistency, especially in my game, because in training, we are doing everything we should be doing. In the American tournaments, I left very satisfied with my performances, I was very aggressive, although maybe not throughout as much as I would like," says Matteo confidently, making it clear that he still does not feel "inferior" to any opponent, without any doubts about the level his game can achieve.

Finally, Berrettini hinted at a small anecdote that reflects his new status as the 'godfather' of the latest wave of great Italian tennis names: just before entering his thirties, he received a surprising call from Lorenzo Musetti. "Thanks to my age, I now have more experience. It pleases me that players from a later generation see me as a role model. After Indian Wells, for example, Lolo called me: he wanted to know how to handle the mental aspect of returning to the circuit after an injury. If I don't know it, after all I've been through..." This morning, Matteo embarks on the journey back to redemption in a Monte-Carlo that could be crucial for him.
