Too bad. The inclined observer of the tennis tour just had the impression that with Matteo Berrettini a new, interesting face has appeared on the scene. A sporty success, especially since the Italian had won the title in Budapest and in a convincing manner also in Stuttgart. A single defeat burst the dream of attacking the tennis throne for Berrettini, even if it had failed under special circumstances: against Roger Federer on Center Court in Wimbledon.
But: One thing you have to give the 23-year-old Roman - he draws consequences from his defeats. Has hung up the tennis racket, will move on the catwalks of this world in the future, just as smoothly as recently on the tennis green.
