Last year, Matteo Berrettini played in the final of the Wimbledon, and this year, he will try to improve his result.
Novak Djokovic stopped the young Italian in the final, and when asked if he would pick Rafael Nadal or the Serbian as his opponent this year, Matteo Berrettini admitted that he would like to avoid last year's champion as he thinks beating Djokovic is 'one of the toughest things you can ever do'.
“Probably beating Djokovic in a Slam is like one of the toughest things you can ever think to do. Last year, he won three Slams and made the finals in the fourth so it's not really easy to find a way. But one thing is for sure, every time that I play him in a Slam, I feel I am getting closer and closer because, obviously, the more you play against someone, the more you learn about him."
“Also every time I play against these players, I am improving, even if I am losing a match. So I think it's about time. Last year was my first ever Grand Slam final, for him [it] was the 30th I think."
“That's a tough question. I think on grass Novak for the way I play is tougher to beat, but obviously if you ask me ‘[do] you want to play Novak or Rafa in Paris?’ I would say Novak. It depends about the tournament. [I would like to face] Rafa over Novak right now. Then I'm not saying that it's going to be easy to beat Rafa there, but I think Novak will be tougher.”
