Physically diminished this Saturday, Matteo Berrettini gritted his teeth to dismiss Mackenzie McDonald (3-6, 7-6,[2], 6-3, in 2h25 of play) and reach the final of the Naples tournament. His first in his country, Italy, and on hard.
“I didn’t feel very well. I asked for the physio because my foot hurt. It’s happened so many times in my career that I have to deal with so many things, and not just thinking about my tennis. I didn’t want to give up. My team told me: “I think you should stop”. I don’t even know how I did it but I tried and found a way”said on 16e world at the end of the match.
He will face compatriot Lorenzo Musetti or Miomir Kecmanovic for the title on Sunday, obviously hoping he can hold on to his place.
