Berrettini: The Emotional Significance of the Davis Cup in My Recovery Journey

The 56th-ranked world tennis player, Italian athlete Matteo Berrettini, spoke about the significance of participating in the 2025 Davis Cup final, especially in light of his recovery from injury.

«It’s incredibly important to me. It has always held great significance. Over time, I’ve realized that the emotions and atmosphere are what make me feel alive in this sport.

I understand that there are no ATP ranking points at stake. I know many people claim that the competition has lost its value in recent years. However, for me personally, it provides the best feelings. I’m referring not just to the games, but to the pride, teamwork, and chemistry among the players.

This means a lot and has greatly supported me, particularly in the past two years when I faced challenges. At times, I struggled to find the motivation to come back. The Davis Cup was one of those motivators. I’m truly happy to have persevered through everything and to now enjoy these moments,” Berrettini stated during the 2025 Davis Cup press conference in Bologna.
