Davis Cup > Matteo Berrettini: “When I play this competition, I have to pinch myself to wake up and I say to myself: 'Mamma mia, I'm in the Davis Cup and I represent Italy'”

Deprived of the final in 2023 due to injury, even if he had insisted on attending Italy's coronation against Australia on the bench, Matteo Berrettini will be there this Sunday against the Netherlands.

After having perfectly launched his country on track thanks to his victory against Thanasi Kokkinakis this Saturday (6−7, 6–3, 7–5), the current 35e world saw its leader, Jannik Sinner, finish the job in style by outclassing Alex De Minaur.

During a press conference, the man who should normally be escorted this Sunday by his captain to face Botic Van De Zandschulp, expressed his pride in representing his colors.

“When I play the Davis Cup, there is always a moment during the match, or maybe even during the warm-up, where I think back to when I was a kid and watched the tournament for hours and hours. Every now and then I have to pinch myself to wake up and I say to myself: 'Mamma mia, I'm in the Davis Cup and I'm representing Italy! »
