Matteo Berrettini faces the last few weeks of recovery with optimism. The Italian, who was forced to withdraw from Roland Garros due to injury in the quarterfinals, is confident he will be ready in time for Wimbledon, the most special tournament of his career. In an interview with GQ Italia during the ATP Stuttgart, the Roman discussed his physical condition, his historic relationship with grass, and Flavio Cobolli's exciting journey to the Roland Garros final.

At 30 years old, Berrettini remains one of the most dangerous players on grass. Not in vain, he was the first Italian in history to reach a Wimbledon final back in 2021, and he has accumulated four titles on this surface between Queen's and Stuttgart. His powerful serve, the aggressiveness of his forehand, and his tricky slice backhand make him a particularly tough opponent when the circuit lands on the green season.

Wimbledon, Berrettini's Grand Goal

Berrettini admitted that not being able to compete in Stuttgart was particularly painful due to what this tournament means to him. "It hurts not being able to play here. I have suffered a lot, but I am happy with the work I have done in recent weeks and I will be ready for Wimbledon." After several years marked by physical problems, Berrettini is once again facing a grass season where historically he has shown his best form.

"I come with the feeling of a person very proud of the path he has taken but still hungry to achieve certain results, as seen in Paris. At the same time, I must take the right steps to arrive in form, but I know that when I adjust two or three things, it's a tournament where I can do well and enjoy." Despite the lingering physical doubts, Berrettini keeps his excitement intact to compete at the highest level in London once again.

Although he is now considered one of the great specialists on the circuit, he didn't always have such a close relationship with grass. "Do you know when I understood that I could become a good grass-court player? Right here. Because in 2018, I didn't like playing on grass too much. In 2019, we first played the Davis Cup in India, on a pretty tough court. Then I came here and won the tournament without losing a set. That's when I realized I loved playing on grass," commented the Italian.

Berrettini was moved by Cobolli's final at Roland Garros

One of the most emotional moments of the interview came when he spoke about Flavio Cobolli. Berrettini followed from afar his compatriot's incredible journey to the Roland Garros final and didn't hide the pride he felt seeing him fight for a Grand Slam. "There is such a special story with Flavio that it's hard to find the words. Seeing him in a final moved me. I know the weight of stepping onto such an important stage. I am proud of him and the relationship we have."

Their friendship has strengthened over the years to become one of the most special in Italian tennis. So much so that actor Alessandro Borghi even joked about the possibility of bringing their story to the big screen. "I've seen the video; we should make a movie about it. There's an incredible story behind it. Winning the Davis Cup together was precious," he explained.
