Matteo Berrettini defeats Cameron Norrie in first round of Australian Open

"It was a special emotion, also because I didn't enjoy the last Slam as much as I would have liked due to the somewhat complicated preparation. It's nice to be here, it's nice to feel good and to get through such a tough first round; also Cameron He was a Top 10 and he is never an easy opponent." Matteo Berrettini commented on the success in the first round of the Australian Open against Britain's Norrie.

"It was a great performance, a good fight just the way I like it, maybe I should have done something more in the first set but that's tennis - added the Roman - After losing that set I used that feeling of disappointment to find positive energy right at the start of the second set, I won it and from that moment I played better and better".
