(ANSA) – ROME, AUGUST 05 – Fresh from the semifinal in Umag, Giulio Zeppieri is experiencing the best moment of his young career. Had the cramps not arrived, at 3-3 in the third set, Zeppieri would have had a good chance of joining the list (which is getting longer from week to week) of Italians able to beat Carlos Alcaraz. In any case, once the disappointment of the moment has passed, Zeppieri now knows he can be part of the greats.
“Together with the Internazionali in Rome and Roland Garros in Paris, this one in Umag was undoubtedly my best tournament, the one where I expressed the best tennis – he says in an interview with the Fit website – I am keeping a high intensity throughout the game and this paid off in Croatia. “
Zeppieri was Lorenzo Musetti’s ‘twin’ in the Under 18 circuit. Then the roads parted. “I’m working a lot on myself even off the pitch, and I’ve realized that everyone has their own times. Top-level sport is complicated, not everyone at 17-18 has the maturity to make the right choices in view of the future. You arrive on the pro tour and you are a guy who knows nothing about the world, it’s not all rosy. I have made progress, but I can do even better at the level of running my business. Lorenzo? We are friends and we talk a lot , I hope to reach him as soon as possible in the standings “.
Zeppieri’s promise is gearing up to be kept.
“A promise me? Yes, but in the end I have always been slightly overshadowed, first by Musetti and then also by Sinner. I didn’t feel this media pressure, they knew who I was sure, but I didn’t have all eyes on me”.
The dreams, meanwhile, are those of many young people who appear at the gates of the top 100: “Roland Garros is my dream tournament, and even when I was there as a junior I really liked the atmosphere. let’s talk about Grand Slams, in second place I put the US Open. And obviously Rome, because you play and win at home “. (HANDLE).
