Berrettini-Sinner set up one of the most beautiful matches at Wimbledon that would not have deserved the second round. The revelation
Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner, two Italians, gave life up to the moment to what was one of the most beautiful matches of Wimbledon that, objectively, would not have deserved only the second round. Damn the draw.
In the end the world number one won, in four sets, tightly drawn. And the feeling at the end of the match was only one: Berrettini right now would not have lost to anyone else but the one who leads the ATP ranking. Too bad, really. Because we could have had two important men still inside the tournament. But now it is useless to stand here and talk, the past is past and we have to move on. Of course, a passage, perhaps the last one, about what has been is obligatory to do so. Because Berrettini’s revelation is the kind that has to be reported.
Berrettini-Sinner, Matteo’s revelation
“At one point I got chills because I heard the audience going crazy and this stuff here is unparalleled. Especially thinking about those moments that I didn’t even want to watch the results because I was in too much pain…” said in the press conference, Berrettini, in the words later also reported by Eurosport.
And, Matteo, also revealed what he said to Sinner right under the net, when the two embraced at the end of a very long contest: “I enjoyed it, it was good, I felt proud to play head and shoulders against the number 1 in the world, against a guy who has lost very few matches this year and on the Wimbledon Central. With millions of people watching and with Italy watching. We complimented each other. We wished each other good luck. I told him to go and win it, to go all the way.” Great Matteo, and let’s hope Jannik “follows” your advice.
