The star player opened up about how he tried to remain aggressive to win this game despite the German-born star's stellar display on the court.
"The game plan was the same but I changed my attitude and the way I was believing in my strokes. I wasn't hitting my forehand and serve like I had in previous days and I had to adapt and adjust to the conditions and Sascha was playing unbelievable, so it was not easy. Then I told myself to be more aggressive and if I am going to lose this match, I am going to do the right things and luckily it worked," said Berrettini after the win.
