Matteo Berrettini returns to US Open with renewed focus
Matteo Berrettini has returned to New York for the US Open with a renewed focus on mental well-being and personal balance. In a recent interview, the former world number six emphasized the importance of creating a positive environment with his team to better manage the challenges and injuries he has faced in recent years.
Berrettini reflected on the significance of the US Open to his career, specifically recalling his breakthrough performance in 2019 at Flushing Meadows. During that tournament, he defeated Gael Monfils in a high-tension match to reach the quarterfinals, eventually falling to the future champion, Rafael Nadal. He noted that his current approach is more mature, aiming to enjoy the game while maintaining a healthy life outside of tennis.
