After his match against the German player, Matteo confessed that he used to struggle a lot in the past.
He revealed in his on-court interview: “I spent many days in bed crying about not being able to play. So five days in a row, it’s nothing. It’s sad, but it’s true. I miss playing and competing. People who are close to me know about it. So it’s so special; I found extra energy, and I’m finding it every day. I’m so glad that I’m here, and you guys are unbelievable. Thank you for the support.”
