Berrettini Matteo

Matteo Berrettini closed out the 2025 season in fine style by winning the Davis Cup. His season was once again marked by injuries, preventing him in particular from participating in Roland-Garros and the US Open.

“The results come from elsewhere”

In comments reported by Eurosport, the Italian has decided not to set specific goals for the year 2026: “I don't set performance goals, not because of a lack of motivation, but because it doesn't really motivate me.

I know that the results come from elsewhere. The Davis Cup proved it. I must prioritize the pleasure of playing and feeling good.”

Favoritism?

Last year: Sinner seed 1, the organizers schedule Alcaraz on day 1, Sinner on day 2.

This year: Alcaraz seed 1, the organizers schedule Alcaraz on day 1, Sinner on day 3.

That means: 7 matches in 15 days for Alcaraz, 7 in 13 days for Sinner; and no rest day for Sinner between quarter and semis, 1 full day rest for Alcaraz.

Also, on the first very hot day, the organizers schedule Sinner...
