Another knockout in the first game. Matthew Berrettini came out right away you love Meas had happened Indian wells
. He was defeated by the American Makenzie McDonald with the score of 7-6 7-6. Two fatal tiebreaks for the Roman tennis player, usually a specialist when it comes to the decisive match. A painful defeat also because it took place under the eyes of Melissa Satta, flown to America to be next to her boyfriend in probably the most difficult moment of her career. A care that was worth little.

The crisis continues

A match that was not impossible on paper for the blue and white, who came to the start of the season with many doubts and some physical ailments, but still stronger than his opponent. On the eve of the tournament, after performing at the Phoenix Challenger — where he had surrendered to the much more humble Russian Alexander Shevchenko who shouted: «Get me off the field, I’m out of sight
» — Berrettini certainly didn’t hide behind a finger: «I don’t want to lie, it wasn’t easy days both mentally and physically. It’s a difficult moment in my career, but I’m not worried. I am aware that these things can happen especially in sports like tennis,” he stated upon arrival in Miami, saying he was happy to be able to resume from the tournament that he had to give up last year due to a hand injury. “After Phoenix I trained intensively. I feel ready and I need a good result that gives me confidence for the clay court season, which is my favorite and which I couldn’t play last year». Turning point postponed to the next tournament. Matteo’s crisis has no end for now.
