Berrettini and Sinner, their respective situations could not be more different than this: divided fans.
Who knows: maybe, without the gossip in the way, his affair with Melissa Satta would not have ended. Because it is evident, woe to deny it, that the exaggerated chatter and controversy that have punctuated this relationship since day one have ended up wearing down this love. No one would have been able to withstand it more than the former Striscia la notizia beauty queen, on the other hand.
The showgirl has broken all records of endurance, in terms of the criticism she has received, just as her ex, Matteo Berrettini, must have felt exasperated at one point. Fortunately, both he and she were soon able to find some peace after that breakup that the people on social media had welcomed with extreme favor, certain as the web users were that the blame for the tennis player’s défaillance was totally attributable to the Boston native.
Melissa was blamed for everything a bit, often with some pretty heavy epithets, such as that sex addict used by the British tabloids. And Berrettini has not been forgiven for allowing himself to be seduced by an alleged “man-eater” (?) of his caliber. Nor is he forgiven for his new affair with Federica Lelli, who although more discreet and less present on social media is already the new target of the social court. In recent days, the girl has become an alibi for Matteo’s forfeit at Roland Garros: “He has the influencer,” some users ironize, referring to her profession and continuing to think, therefore, that the Roman is so stupid as to throw a career away to be a butterfly. But so be it. Social media gives everyone a voice and that is.
Sinner different from Berrettini: here’s why
The supporters of Jannik Sinner, on the other hand, take a totally different view, welcoming the as-yet-to-be-confirmed relationship of the Italian with fellow player Anna Kalinskaya.
The two were paparazzied having dinner together in Paris, but no one dared to suggest that the Russian could “ruin” the high-flying man’s career. On the contrary, these indiscretions have even generated some excitement around the world, because they like the fact that the San Candido native may have fallen in love with a girl who lives the same way as him and who, like him, has immolated her life to tennis. The new couple, in short, has already convinced everyone.
Other social users are even trying, which is highly unusual but very right, to protect him: “Leave him alone,” “Let him do what he wants,” many write, claiming the sacrosanct right of sportsmen to fall in love and start a family. A right to be defended tooth and nail. It’s just too bad that no one has ever done anything like that for Berrettini. He has not won a Slam, after all. He has never been that close from rising to the top of the rankings. He does not deserve, therefore, the respect of others. He is a finished tennis player because he cannot get back up, so he should be slaughtered, demolished, as if fate had not already presented him with an exaggerated bill in itself. When they say double standards. What if we leave them both alone instead, as we should?
