“Unfortunately Matteo Berrettini still has problems, he can’t fix this foot.
He will have to suffer a little more, we hope to see him at a good level towards the middle of the year. The protected ranking certainly helps him, but it’s right that it should be like this, he was among the top ten in the world and reached the final at Wimbledon”. Thus Adriano Panatta on Berrettini’s absence at the Australian Open. The former Italian champion then commented on Novak Djokovic’s hard-fought victory over the very young Prizmic in the Australian tournament: “The eighteen-year-old plays well, a boy of that age, who won the Roland Garros Juniores last year, gets excited if he plays against Djokovic. Then it’s obvious that he can’t last more than two hours, two and a half hours, because Nole’s level is very high. However he played well, Djokovic is still far from his best,” added Panatta.
