Finally the moment has arrived: Matteo Berrettini is preparing to put an end to another very long wait and tomorrow he will return to the German grass field in the 250 tournament in Stuttgart. The Roman will sink the Russian in the first round of the tournament Roman Safiullinseeded number 8 in the tournament.
Berrettini: it’s the moment of truth
It’s the moment of truth for Berrettini: his 2024 must necessarily take a positive turn from this moment on. The return also coincides with the “grass season”, the surface that gave the Roman tennis player his greatest satisfaction in his career with the final won in 2021 at Wimbledon. But now it’s also time to put aside glory and memories. The Roman will be involved in the second match scheduled on the central for the Boss Open tournament and will face a complicated player like the Russian Safiullin, seeded number 8 in the German tournament. The appointment is around 12.30pm with the match which will be visible on Sky platforms.
Doubts and waiting: how is The Hammer
The last game of Matteo Berrettini it dates back to more than two months ago when the Italian tennis player lost in the first round of the Masters1000 in Monte Carlo. The clay season had just begun with the victory in the Marrakech tournament and the feeling that the worst was behind us. Instead, bad luck once again took its toll on Matteo who, due to an annoying tonsillitis, had to stop once again, giving up series tournaments: Monaco, Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros. A series of sacrifices which also raised the level of attention on his real physical condition and with the doubt that the Roman’s career could be at a turning point and certainly not a positive one. Now in Stuttgart it is time to try to erase doubts here with the result of the match with Safiullin which represents only a bonus, what matters more is the fact that Berrettini returns to the field.
First Musetti and then Cobolli
Tomorrow will be full of Italian colors at the Stuttgart tournament. He will take care of opening the morning shift Lorenzo Musettiseeded number 5 in the event, who will face the new French sensation on the other side of the net: John Mpetshi Perricard, who only a few weeks ago achieved victory at the Lyon tournament and at 20 years old is a candidate to be one of the great hopes of transalpine tennis. Instead, I will be the one to close the matches on the central court in a very complicated match Flavio Cobollifresh from a top-level Roland Garros, who however will have to make his way against the fearsome German Jan-Lennard Struff.
