"Like that team, today we too try to stay as united as possible. With Lorenzo Sonego we have known each other since we were kids and we are very close; the relationship is also excellent with Lorenzo Musetti. With Jannik Sinner we speak less but it is normal, you can't be friends with everyone."

He also talked about his brother:

"I owe a lot to Jacopo because it was he who convinced me to play tennis when I was seven. We are different, I'm a bit of a nerd, he's always been sports-sick, but we fit together well. And we share everything, both beautiful moments and the bad ones: in Acapulco, when I thought I'd really hurt myself, we spent hours lying in bed staring at the ceiling."
