"I couldn't find the right adrenaline, the right tension and so obviously I'm slower, I serve less well, I do less harm", so "I have to turn the page. I will manage myself so that I will play in Vienna, Paris, hopefully in Turin. with Davis, that's the program. "
So Matteo Berrettini after the elimination in the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 of Indian Wells against the American Taylor Fritz for 6-4, 6-3.
"Certainly - underlined the 25-year-old from Rome - it is not the best performance of the year, more than anything else I think a question of nervous energy. I was unable to find the right adrenaline, the right tension and therefore obviously I am slower, I need less. well, I do less harm. It is a mental issue, I have played many games this year with a very good attitude, with a very good energy.
Unfortunately or fortunately, it was a long time since this thing did not happen. "
The number 7 in the world commented on Sinner's season and his run-up to the ATP Finals: "It is impressive that he is doing it at this age. It would be wonderful if both of us arrived in Turin. I think I am not saying a lie when I say that we both had a very good year. He has even won three tournaments. I think I deserve it and I think he deserves it too. But obviously there are other players ready to take our place away. So as long as he's not mathematician yet we don't have to celebrate. " Regarding the derby with the South Tyrolean in the second round of Indian Wells, Berrettini added: "I saw him and I wish him good luck, I would have liked it too, it would have been a good thing but let's hope maybe play against in some major tournament.
