Berrettini, the second chapter of his sports history begins in Turin: the Roman has made a clear choice.
The need to hire a new coach is not Matteo Berrettini’s biggest “problem.” Even before finding Vincenzo Santopadre’s heir, the tennis player will have to rebuild himself. As much on a mental level as on a physical one, given that his body has repeatedly betrayed him over the past few months.
Avoiding injuries will be the main mission of this hammer in version 2.0, who is tired of suffering all these misfires from fate and ready to do anything, accordingly, to return to his former glory. This is evidenced by the fact that in the past few hours he has put aside his heart to follow only and exclusively reason. Which is a first for the former number 1 of Italy, who has always emphasized that everything he has won he has won by putting in not only his muscles, but above all his heart.
There is no margin for error this time, though. There is no room for error. And that is why he betrayed his great love, Fiorentina, to dive into the arms of Juventus. His future, whether he likes it or not, is Bianconero and it has just begun, as is clear from the rumors circulating online and in the press in recent hours.
Berrettini, the future is bianconero: at J Medical to start again
On Wednesday, Matteo Berrettini traveled to Turin with a very specific intent. That is, to reach J Medical, the Juventus medical center based at Allianz Stadium, home of Juventus.

Revealing the reason for this choice was Sky Sport, which let the Roman’s fans know that this trip to the foot of the Mole has a specific purpose. Berrettini would go there to undergo targeted tests, examinations and checkups, as well as to assess his current physical condition. His 2023, it is known, has been marked by a wide variety of injuries, which is why taking better care of his physique will have to be, in the year to come, the primary goal to pursue.
So much is at stake. Climbing the rankings, first of all, since Matteo is now in a position that is not very congenial to him: constant stop&go have caused him to plummet to 92nd place in the world rankings, a placement that complicates everything a bit. Let’s just hope, then, that this HCL turnaround can be the key to his rebirth.
