“There are many things I would steal from Jannik. One above all, dedication to work, the ability to always want to improve. He arrived in the elite of tennis at a very young age and never wanted to stop, and if you hear him speak he is always looking to the future, this is a quality that the greats have,” Matteo Berrettini said.

The 28-year-old said he wanted Sinner’s dedication towards improvement to rub off on him as he continues to push towards his goals.

“That type of approach is a bit innate and a bit of work; therefore, I am trying to do the same, to continue to push, continue to find goals, feel important stimuli. It is not just about rankings or tournaments, but the joy of improving yourself,” he said.
