Tears for Berrettini, at the end of yet another semifinal win this season, Matteo allowed himself to make a statement
Matteo Berrettini is showing that he is back. And at the end of the semifinal win at the Atp 250 in Kitzbühel he let loose with an emotional comment.
That let’s get it straight, it’s not really about him. But a big part of his life: everyone has a best friend for whom he would be willing to do anything, and the blue tennis player has one too. Here, at the end of the semifinal Berrettini, in his usual post-match statements, wanted to make a really emotional passage.
Berrettini and the dedication to his friend’s grandmother
It was a semifinal, so I’m really pumped up for the final. Audience? It’s amazing, every day they are giving me more and more energy. I know it’s hot, but I hope it was worth it for you It really helps me the energy of the audience. When you lose an important point and someone claps to support you, it helps. I want to thank everyone.”
Having said that, Matteo then wanted to remember his friend’s grandmother, allowing himself to make a statement that moved the Austrian audience throughout. In short, a Berrettini who has important feelings-but about this no one, but no one, has ever had any doubts-and who decided to dedicate the victory precisely to a woman who passed away very recently. And we know very well how grandparents are really important in any person’s life. “One last thing: My best friend who is like a brother lost his grandmother two days ago and he told me to win for her. I won and, therefore, this is for you.” Yes, it was really all emotional. A big round of applause to Matteo, who just can’t forget those who have been there for him during these difficult years for him after the Wimbledon final that almost took him to the top of the world.
