“I can talk about him for two days” – Matteo Berrettini
Berrettini grew up watching Federer, idolizing him and taking inspiration from him. However, when he grew up and joined the ATP Tour, he got to know how big the other players are. He is awestruck with Djokovic’s return game and Nadal’s intensity.
“Roger is tennis,” Berrettini said on an Instagram live with Chris Evert. “He can do whatever he wants. It’s so easy. He is my idol. And I can talk about him for two days. He makes it look like he born like that.”

“Novak is a machine. For me, he is the worst to play. I remember playing him in London at the tour finals, had nearly 70% of my first serves in the 2nd set and still lost the set 6-1. I couldn’t hold my serve. He has an amazing return. His backhand is really good,” he added.
“Nadal’s intensity is unbelievable. It doesn’t matter if the score is 5-0 and 0-5,” the Italian concluded.
