It was a tough match. BERRETTINI
After the match, Berrettini commented:
“It was a really tough match. The conditions were tough, it was cold and windy. The balls were moving a lot. So I was really focused on my game.
After the first set, I just told myself to fight game after game, point after point and I’m really happy because it was really difficult.”
After this week Berrettini will be ranked no.37 (career high).
