The revelation about Matteo Berrettini is a real and surprise and displaces all tennis fans: comes a ‘special’ message
The second part of Matteo Berrettini’s season can bring so much satisfaction to the Italian tennis movement as well. There is not only Jannik Sinner, current No. 1 in the ATP ranking, as demonstrated also by Lorenzo Musetti. The latter won, in fact, the bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, finishing behind only two monsters like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Musetti’s success was missing a full 100 years after Uberto de Morpurgo’s in Paris 1924. Already, it is the French capital that gives the greatest satisfaction at the Olympic Games.
But Italy also wants to recover as soon as possible Berrettini, who has won two consecutive tournaments – three in total in 2024 – in Gstaad and Kitzbhuel. The dark period when only his relationship with Melissa Satta was talked about seems to be behind him. ‘The Hammer,’ today, is focused toward an extraordinary comeback in the rankings.
Berrettini is close to the Top 40 and a strong performance at the Cincinnati Masters 1000, where he got a wild card, could even make him seeded at the US Open, the last Slam of the season. And for the Italian tennis player also came a special message.
Tennis, Pietrangeli’s revelation: “I wrote to Berrettini “
Nicola Pietrangeli, Italian tennis legend, revealed to the microphones of ‘Mow’ that he wrote to Berrettini: “I never write to anyone, I never do, but this time I did. I sent a message to Matteo, in all my life it’s the first time I do that. You don’t know how sorry I am that he didn’t write back. I felt like writing to him after he won two tournaments in a row. “
Pietrangeli then revealed the content of the message, “Everyone is capable of saying bravo to you now. I’m not telling you because you won, but because you played great. You had a great match against Sinner at Wimbledon and you came back and played really well. Keep it up.”
A very nice and surprising message, considering that Pietrangeli is no stranger to criticism and barbs against Italian tennis players currently involved in the circuit. Perhaps this is precisely why Berrettini did not respond. Between the two, by the way, there has been some rift in the past. A reason for disappointment for Pietrangeli, who did not hide his bitterness after the non-response.
