Yesterday, there was a big scare for the fans of Matteo Berrettini and the audience of the ATP Miami Open, who, on the blue hardcourt where the Master 1000 is being played, saw the Italian tennis player suffer a sudden illness. The 1996-born player, in fact, nearly fainted, just as Cazaux did, due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. The Roman athlete himself spoke about his physical condition on the sidelines of the match against the Scotsman, saying: «The performance was good. I didn't feel well since the morning, I woke up feeling strange. I don't really know what's wrong with me, I was very weak, I had hardly eaten anything».
Berrettini's words after the illness
Berrettini then continued: «Too many things have happened to me in the past, so the thought of not playing was not an option». Matteo then resumed talking about the match: «I played a great match in terms of level and quality. At a certain point I felt a big drop, but he also deserves credit for always being there, making it increasingly difficult for me, always more solid. It's a pity, but now I need to rest». Finally, he concluded by talking about the Challenger where he reached the final: «I would have never thought I'd reach the last act. It was a nice shock to the body, I think I still need to recover muscle-wise from last week. However, there are many positive things».
