Matteo Berrettini’s journey at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships ended in the second round.
He had a tough draw, facing World No. 1 Jannik Sinner early on, a player he once reached the final against in 2021.
Sinner is seen as one of the top contenders to win this year, alongside Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
Despite this challenging matchup, Berrettini didn’t give up and put up a strong fight. He made Sinner work hard for his victory, pushing him to win all sets in tie-breaks.

Afterwards, Berrettini expressed mixed feelings—disappointed but also proud of his performance. “It’s always tough to be positive after moments like this. I think I played a great match against the world #1. I had many chances. What I have to take from this match is that the level is there. It’s something I always believed. But until you prove yourself, it’s tough to feel it I guess. I think it was a great match.”
Reflecting on His Performance:
“It’s tennis,” he said with a hint of sadness yet pride in his voice. “I’m happy today walking on court I thought about the match. During the match I thought about the match. Not about injuries. Not about my body… I feel proud of myself but at the same time I’m a little bit sad for the result.”
Fans might think it’s inspiring how he fought despite such odds.
In recent years, Berrettini faced several setbacks that kept him away from tennis, but he’s slowly making his way back into form.
His performance against Sinner shows he’s capable of returning to ATP‘s Top 10 where he truly belongs.
What do you think? Should he be proud or focus more on winning next time?
