"The Worst Day I've Had on a Tennis Court" 💔 Berrettini Reflects on Injury | Nitto ATP Finals 2021
Matteo, Sam from the ATP here. Tough situation for you tonight. However, that first set, what was it like to play in front of such a passionate crowd here in Turin?
It was unbelievable. The atmosphere was one of the best I've ever felt in my life, and that's why I feel so bad right now. Not being able to finish the match is killing me. It's really tough to face. I hope it's nothing serious, but today I couldn't finish, and I really wanted to enjoy every second. The worst thing that could happen, happened.
Did you already have any discomfort before starting the game, or was it something that appeared suddenly?
I didn't feel anything before, and then I felt it during that serve in the last game. It's mentally tough for me because I had a similar injury in the same area before. I need to figure out what it is first and then see if I can play.
How much hope do you have that you'll be able to play some more here in Turin?
I don't know if it's the same injury. The mental part is probably the most important one. Coming back from that injury, I had to be brave to serve full power again. I hope it's not serious, but today it was impossible to keep playing. I'll do some checks with my team and doctors tomorrow and hope that I can play the next two matches.
