LONDON: Matteo Berrettini said his dashing effort in losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets in the Wimbledon final on Sunday was “not finally, it was the beginning” and he believed that one day could lift the trophy at the All England Club.
The 25-year-old Italy showed a great pickers to come from a break and won the first set before Serbia gathered and won 6-7 (4/7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 for a recording matching the 20th grand slam and the sixth Wimbledon title.
“This is not finally, it is the beginning for me,” Berrettini said, appearing in his first grand slam final.
Berrettini said he would take advantage of Djokovic’s example of how he improved himself as a player and hopefully the winner of the first Italian Grand Slam since Adriano Panatta in 1976 the French Open.
Tertittini – The first Italy to reach the Wimbledon Singles final – also lost in four sets to Djokovic in the French Open French quarter-final last month.
Extraordinary run.

“As he said, he lost against Rafa and Roger, and thanks to them he improved.
That’s what I will try to do.
Thanks to him, I will try to be better.” Berretti might have a majority of the crowd of the central court capacity of 15,000 behind it – some of them wore an Italian football shirt ahead of the Euro 2021 week of Sunday with England – but he said he would need more than that if he would defeat Djokovic.
, “Obviously it is now beating him, it means, like, the best player in the world today, not only because he is No.
1 but because he shows week after week that he is the best player,” Berretti said.
“I can’t ask for more …
Well maybe a little more ?” We haven’t seen the last one from @mattberrettini on penny …

He is really the toughest player to be defeated.
“Maybe it will mean more if you can win against Novak in the final.” Bertettini might have fallen short this time but he has gained respect about the ex-championship like Boris Becker.
Indeed he approached Being the first player since Becker in 1985 to win the prestigious Queen tournament on his debut and add Wimbledon crown a few weeks later.
“This is not the end.
This hopefully the beginning of an extraordinary career.
“@ MattberretTini | #Wimbledon https://t.co/LH9U4C3SIV- ATP Tour (@atptour) 1626023663000” The most important thing for me is that now I’m losing – obviously you can lose to anyone, but I lose the best player in the world , “he said.” In Paris I lost against him (Djokovic), and he won the tournament.
“At Queen’s I Won, and then I lost him again here.
That means that my level grows.” That means my weapon and tennis I generally grow.
That’s the right way.
“Bertoftini said he was” angry “because he lost and he didn’t play with the standards he expected but he had taken enough of two weeks to find out one thing.” I know that I can do it, “he said.” I know I can win this title.
I’m not sure if I will do it, but I know I can do it.
So that’s what I will do in the following weeks, in the months and years of the following years: Try to lift the trophy.
