Number 6 in the ATP world ranking,
Matteo Berrettini took the applause of Ariston
: "You didn't hear my heartbeat: thank you all, this is a different stage for me, I don't have a racket, I don't feel so much at my own ease ... ", smiles the Roman tennis player, elegant in his tuxedo.
"In front of you - Amadeus tells him - there are only champions like Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, but sooner or later they will retire".
And Berrettini: "I'm trying to beat them while they're still on tour".
At the Australian Open, where he was then overtaken in the semifinals by Rafa Nadal, "the crowd wasn't like that. After four hours and a few hours of battle I got the adrenaline, the nastiness and I used the energy to win the game and this I think it was appreciated. "
With his girlfriend Ajla they see each other "in tournaments, she lives in Florida, I live in Europe, my life is always around".
Fiorello arrives on stage, who worked with his father Luca Berrettini and greets the entire family of the tennis player in the audience.
The showman remembers when as a kid he dreamed of practicing this sport ("but my father told me: either we eat, or you play tennis") and appeals to young people: "Get closer to this sport, today it has become accessible".
