The growth of Italian tennis in recent years has been nothing short of impressive. Great numbers for tennis, which has now become, by popular acclaim, the most followed sport in Italy after football. Naturally, the credit goes to the new world number one Jannik Sinner, protagonist of a great rise in recent times and protagonist of great victories such as that of the Davis Cup and the Australian Open, with the latter certainly helping to achieve this result.
In short, when we talk about Italian tennis we cannot fail to refer to Sinner but we must not forget that one of the main supporters of this great tennis period for our nation is Matteo Berrettini.
The Roman tennis player was in the Top Ten for some time, in 2021 he became the first tennis player to reach the final at Wimbledon and achieved many great results, especially playing on grass. This week, after months of absence from the circuit, he returned to the grass court and returned to winning matches.
At the same time Matteo spoke to the microphones of the foreign portal Esquire and revealed the reason why he is considered a nice guy. The athlete is unquestionably also followed by the female public for a certain charm and the blue jokingly explained that it is all linked to his mother and his mother’s family: “Why is Matteo Berrettini so handsome? Well, I think there are some good Brazilian genes in me (reference to my mother’s family), then I’m also Italian and let’s say that I didn’t do anything, it’s a gift that my family gave me.
It’s embarrassing to talk about it”, the final comment with Matteo who continues: “I am one of the messiest people on the planet and I struggle to always carry an object with me. The only thing I always have here is the necklace, my mother gave it to me and I always wear it. When you go on the pitch I take it out and always put it on, it’s a sort of ritual of mine.”
