Berrettini, what a thrust: the message travels on social media

Berrettini, a full-blown dig at the Roman champion: everyone noticed, the message travels at the speed of light.

Detractors argue that the two defeats he has suffered so far on grass are emblematic of the fact that he will never return to his former glory and that his talent has been overestimated. Those who have always believed in him prefer not to give too much emphasis to the results and instead concentrate on the good things he showed first in Stuttgart and then in Halle.

Because he won’t have won any title, it’s true, but Matteo Berrettini he’s there, he’s hungry and you can’t deny that. He himself said he was satisfied with his performance and even a little surprised, to be honest. In fact, after yet another stoppage, he didn’t expect to return to the field and be able to be so competitive right away. He hoped so, but perhaps he didn’t believe he would be able to amaze fans once again.

That’s why the spotlight, now that Wimbledon is on the horizon, they are once again and inevitably turned on him. Even bookmakers indicate him as a potential sixth favorite to win the third Slam of the season, proving that on grass the Roman is always a tough nut to crack and scares everyone. And that, more than ever, not being seeded he could potentially be a loose cannon in the main draw.

Matteo should arrive at the All England Club in these hours. On Monday afternoon he posted a slightly cryptic and it was possible to deduce from it that the Capitoline champion was on board a plane, probably traveling to London.

However, in the foreground of the photo there is a comic. A table that bears the unmistakable trademark of Zero limestone, through which, evidently, Berrettini wanted to send a very specific message to someone. We don’t know to whom, we have no idea what he intended to communicate, but the fact remains that the photograph of him did not seem absolutely random, on the contrary. It seems, indeed, one jab in full scale, from the series “he who has ears to hear, let him hear”.

“Nobody explains guilt to you”, it is written in the margin of the splendid illustration that Matteo posted online and through which he gave the impression of wanting to refer to something in particular. Is it an admission of guilt, or is he pointing the finger at someone?
