Berrettini: "Monte-Carlo is a unique event because of the atmosphere"
Matteo Berrettini is in Monte-Carlo, where he will face a qualifier in the first round before potentially taking on Alexander Zverev if he wins.
Clay is a surface he enjoys, as evidenced by his six titles won on the red dirt.
The Italian shared his thoughts with Sky Sports: "I'm ready for the clay season. With Miami over, I'm eager to enjoy the clay-court swing.
Last year, I won three tournaments on clay, and Monte-Carlo is also a unique event because of the atmosphere—many Italians come to support us.
I was sidelined for a long time due to physical issues. I didn’t always listen to my body, but now I’m feeling good and full of energy."
