“I'm really happy to return to Genoa. It's a tournament I'm very attached to because I won here twice, in 2018 and 2019, and those are memories I still carry with me. I arrive still carrying the emotions from my match against Zverev. When you come so close to beating one of the strongest players in the world, it's natural that some bitterness remains, because you feel the feat was really within reach. But above all, I carry with me the awareness of having played at par, of having given everything until the last point and of being on the right path.”
