"Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will be ready!" – Youngster not expecting easy ride when tennis resumes

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will return from the coronavirus break strongly, says Matteo Berrettini. But he adds the youngsters are coming for them. Berrettini has established himself during the last year as one of an increasingly impressive group of young players. The Italian reached the US Open semi-finals last year, as recently won the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, beating reigning ATP Finals champion Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final. “In the past, when one of these three guys got injured, they came back stronger and playing better, which is crazy for me,” Berrettini said. “It was a great effort to come back like that. For sure, I think these guys (Novak Djokovic and Nadal) will be ready, but the youth guys are getting better too. “I played last week against Andrey Rublev and he is playing really well. The young guys are working really hard and hopefully there could be a bit of a change when tennis comes back.” Source: TennisHead
