Matteo Berrettini: love affair with Italy's glamor couple

They were one of the glamor couples in Italy. But now Matteo Berrettini, former Wimbledon finalist, has announced his separation from his celebrity girlfriend.

Things got serious between Matteo Berrettini and Melissa Satta in January last year. Satta, an extremely well-known model and TV presenter, explained in an interview that they met at a dinner with friends in Miami and then fell in love - a new glamor dream couple was born.


Following the announcement, Satta, who previously dated soccer star Kevin Prince Boateng, came under fire as fans believed she was the cause of Berrettini's absence from tournaments and that she was to blame for his injury. The tennis player suffered an ankle sprain and a partial tear of the anterior tibial ligament, which led to his early end to the season in August 2023, with only 23 matches played.

Suddenly there was radio silence

The couple was last seen together at the Australian Open 2024, shortly afterwards fans suspected a possible end to the relationship. There was public radio silence between the couple. No pictures, messages or congratulations were posted on social media either on her birthday on February 7 or on Valentine's Day.

The 27-year-old finally addressed the rumors on Tuesday during the press conference Corriere dello Sport confirmed. “I figured the question would come. “Melissa and I are no longer together,” he said on the subject.

What was the reason?

According to Italian weekly magazine Today Satta, eleven years her senior, wanted to start a family, something Berrettini didn't seem ready for. He wanted to concentrate on playing tennis. Berrettini himself did not give a specific reason for the end of the relationship.

This was followed by the announcement of his comeback. He is currently number 124 in the ATP rankings. He wants to return to the court in Phoenix after a long break before concentrating on the ATP Master 1000 in Miami.
