Berrettini, there is really no peace for the Roman tennis player: yet another cold shower, better to put his soul at rest.
The social hatred that the people of the web are spewing at him is really inquantifiable. As if Matteo Berrettini, underneath, enjoys the fact that he was forced, in recent days, to withdraw from the Australian Open. As if he did it on purpose, to leave for kangaroo land only to withdraw on the eve of the opener.
This is, in a nutshell, the social thinking on the latest vicissitudes of the Roman champion. Yeah, and then there’s her, the alleged man-eater who allegedly sucked Matteo’s will to play tennis, as vampires do with their unwitting victims. Because we must not and cannot forget that Melissa Satta is entirely to blame, this is what the detractors think. For if he were not together with the ex-velina today he would be bursting with health and would not have any physical problems.
A refrain, this one, that has been going on for a year now and that, in all frankness, has also become a bit monotonous and repetitive. A concentrate of stupid stereotypes against which, in recent days, even Adriano Panatta has taken sides. A tennis legend who, just like Berrettini, devoted himself body and soul to the sport without depriving himself, however, of the pleasures of life. As it should be, as it should be.
Berrettini, the clue in Panatta’s words
And it was precisely the former champion, a few hours ago, who returned to talk about the Berrettini affair. Who, for his part, has entrenched himself in a worrying silence that does not bode well. No comment also from Melissa, who despite being generally very active on Instagram has not posted anything since the day she retired from the main draw.
No useful information has circulated on the web from which to infer what the recovery time might be and what, more importantly, the Roman’s intentions are regarding next steps. A small clue, however, is contained in Panatta’s own words: “Matteo Berrettini – these are his words, reported by Libero, as tough as a cold shower – unfortunately he still has problems, he can’t get this foot right. He will have to suffer a little more, we hope to see him at a good level towards the middle of the year. The protected ranking definitely helps him, but that’s fair enough, he’s been in the top ten in the world and made the final at Wimbledon.”
The Davis hero seems to want to warn fans and warn them that it will be a while yet before the 2021 Wimbledon finalist can actually return to the court. Once and for all. With no more preemptive retirements to spoil our party.
