The Roman tennis player, stuck in the pits since the Monte Carlo tournament, has once again made headlines for events not related to the court
Here we go again. Like a year ago these days, Matteo Berrettini’s immediate presence regarding his participation in the ATP circuit tournaments is shrouded in mystery. That dark tunnel into which – also due to a fair amount of bad luck – the Roman tennis player had fallen during various phases of last season seemed definitively overcome after the encouraging signs of recent weeks, but Madrid’s forfeit was the prelude to new disturbing scenarios.
After missing the Mutua Open in the Spanish capital due to tonsillitis, the former world number 6 also gave up his beloved home tournamentthe Italian Internationals, which for one reason or another he hasn’t played since May 2021.
And like last year, also in 2024 the good Matteo does not only have to deal with physical problems, be it ankles, fevers or poor athletic preparation. If in February 2023 the Wimbledon 2021 finalist was at the center of many gossip chatter due to his announced relationship with the beautiful Melissa Satta, this year it’s another flame – linked to Matteo in recent times – to occupy the pages of pink magazines.
Matteo Berrettini and Federica Lelli are serious
26 years old, model and influencer, Federica Lelli is known to the general public for having been, for at least two years, the girlfriend of the famous singer Ultimo. Who among other things dedicated several songs to her. Once the tormented love story with the singer-songwriter from San Basilio ended, the Roman beauty lost track of her in current gossip news, only to burst onto the scene thanks to… Berrettini.
The weekly magazine ‘Chi’ has in fact revealed that what seemed to have been an almost platonic friendship between the two, who met in person on one of the Roman nightlife evenings in Ponte Milvio, turned into something else.
Love would have blossomed between Matteo and Federica, to the point that she had already moved to the tennis player’s house for some tests of cohabitation which seem to be the prelude to something very important and serious between the two.
Mindful of the media massacre perpetrated against Melissa Satta during the 12 months of the relationship between the two, this time Matteo seems to want to approach his new love story with greater confidentiality. At least judging by the substantial absence of posts, stories and reels regarding his tender moments with his attractive new partner.
