Berrettini Ready to Lead Italy at Davis Cup Finals in Bologna With Sinner Out

The 29-year-old says work with Jannik Sinner rekindled his drive after injury.

Overview

  • Training in Turin during the ATP Finals, Matteo Berrettini says he feels well and is focused on contributing in Bologna next week.
  • Jannik Sinner is confirmed absent for Italy’s Davis Cup campaign, and Lorenzo Musetti is described as doubtful due to fatigue.
  • Berrettini emphasizes the squad’s cohesion and depth, highlighting the form of doubles team Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori and the progress of Lorenzo Cobolli.
  • He credits recent hitting sessions with Sinner in Monte Carlo for restoring his enjoyment of the sport and persuading him not to step away after his latest setback.
