Matteo Berrettini broke up with Melissa Satta – the Italian returns to the field in March

Berrettini (27) was the highest in the ATP ranking at No. 6 at the start of 2022, but numerous injuries prevented him from returning to the elite of the white sport.

Matteo has not played since the 2023 US Open (he withdrew during a second-round match) and is ranked 125th in the world, but announced his desire to return to the court in March.

“Melissa and I are no longer together. All I can say is that what we had was very good. Intense relationship. We have a lot of respect for each other.

I won’t say more than that because I don’t like to talk about my personal life in public. Nothing special happened that led to the breakup. I have to thank him for the time we spent together, despite the difficulties” – Matteo Berrettiniquoted by The Sun.

In his career, the Italian has 156 wins and 86 losses, and he earned $11,546,845 in tennis prizes alone.

Career highlights came at Wimbledon 2021 (played in the final, losing to Novak Djokovic) and Australian Open 2022 (lost to Rafael Nadal in the semifinals).

Berrettini was also paired with Ajla Tomljanovic (WTA player, former world number 32), but they split in September 2022 after two years of dating.
