The Italian tennis player has just won his 3rd title of the season
The triumphs achieved in Gstaad and Kitzbuhel are certainly fundamental for the morale of Matteo Berrettini, who has returned to express himself at great levels on clay in Europe. Two important weeks to gain further confidence and awareness of his own means.
The 10 consecutive victories, without conceding a set, have allowed the Italian tennis player to obtain two titles, 500 points in the ranking and, as of Monday, the 40th position in the ATP ranking. The Italian also defeated the Frenchman Hugo Gaston in two sets in the final.
“I’m happy but also very tired. I thank everyone for the support, you were really incredible. It’s been a really crazy two weeks: thanks to my family, my team and congratulations to you too Hugo, you really made me sweat. Today was a very tough match but I’m happy because I played well all week and it’s nice to end like this with a satisfying result. I tried to always stay positive even when I lost my serve and I’m happy that I closed immediately after with another break, because in tennis you never know. He was hitting well and we had to stay focused because anything could happen,” he said at the end of the match.
The 28-year-old also spoke during the award ceremony, expressing further appreciation towards his opponent: “I congratulate Gaston again, he played a great week and showed great tennis, I know that I will always find you competitive on the tour, keep it up. Congratulations also to his team, maybe we will play other finals. We put our heads down and we did it. Two victories in two weeks, now we can stop training! As you know, it has not been easy for me in the past months and so I thank you all again for the support. The crowd was magnificent, I felt so much affection and support every day I played. You were fundamental: thank you for pushing me to this success.”
