Not a great 2020 for Matteo Berrettini
Back in 2019, Matteo Berrettini played some amazing tennis which led to him qualifying for the ATP Finals. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to repeat this achievement in 2020. He explained this and said, “I felt a lot of the fatigue of this 2020. I didn’t start the season in the best way, I often played half-injured. Then the fight against time to get back in shape, and when I was ready the virus arrived and they canceled everything.”

Berrettini confident about Italian tennis in 2021
Right now, Matteo is surely training to win in 2021 after a disappointing 2020. However, there is another player he feels is capable of doing impressive things next year and that is Jannik Sinner.
“Jannik is doing something impressive, he has an incredible maturity. At his age, I didn’t think about winning even a game, let alone a tournament. It is clear that he plays with a future idea,” said Berrettini.
