“I don’t know. There was a guy that was supporting, cheering for Andrey. He was acting fine for all the match. At the end of the match I don’t know why he said ‘forza’. There wasn’t any need to do that, to say that, because I didn’t say anything during the match. Me and Andrey are actually on really good terms.
“I didn’t like that I lost, so I was upset also for my loss. I just ask him why he said that in Italian. There was no need to fight, anything. Nothing. I was upset for that.”

The comment obviously annoyed Berrettini. Also, the loss must have hurt a lot more, especially since he had done so well at the previous edition of the event.
Last year, the Italian played some magnificent tennis and ended up making it to the semi-finals. Sadly, he lost there to an in-form Rafael Nadal, but it was a great performance nevertheless.
