Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner has offered help to his fellow countryman and the current world number 124 Matteo Berrettini.
The 27-year-old has recently struggled with fitness concerns which is why he also ended up missing the Davis Cup as well where Italy went on to win the title after beating Australia in the final.
Sinner, who is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s circuit and recently won the Australian Open, was recently quoted in a report where he offered help to Berrettini and stated that the ATP tour needs players like him to make it more exciting for the fans.
"I hope Berrettini comes back soon, we need him,” he said. “Berrettini congratulated me like all the Davis players. We need him on the tour. He has helped me in the past and if he needs something I will do it too.”
Berrettini, despite struggling with fitness issues throughout his career, has had an impressive time on the court where he finished as the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2021 after losing to the former world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic with a score of 6–7(4–7), 6–4, 6–4, 6–3. That’s not it as the Rome-born also played in the semifinal of the US Open in 2019 and the Australian Open in 2022.
3 - Jannik Sinner is the 3rd Italian player to win a Men's Singles Grand Slam event in tennis history after Nicola Pietrangeli (Roland Garros 1959 and 1960) and Adriano Panatta (French Open 1976). Enchanting. #AusOpen | @AustralianOpen @janniksin @atptour
