Berrettini: “Melissa Satta and I are no longer together”

The recovery, the return to the field, the relationship with Melissa Satta. Matteo Berrettini speaks fully in front of journalists for the first time after his injury at the US Open: the goal of returning to competition is now close. But it won’t be at Indian Wells: “The idea is to return to Phoenix and Miami, not play Indian Wells: it won’t be an extra week or two that will change the schedule. I want to come back once I’m ready.”

An inevitable question about Melissa and the rumors of separation, confirmed by Berrettini: “We are no longer together, I can say that we had a beautiful and intense relationship, there is great respect for each other. I won’t go any further than this. Nothing special happened, I thank you for this year lived together very intensely.” And on Sinner: “As always, I have great respect for Jannik, I immediately realized that he was special. On the one hand he surprises me, on the other less so: he is doing crazy things. We write to each other often, we are in contact: we are united more than ever and this helps me. He gives me a spring effect: the secret of Italian tennis is that we stimulate each other, I try to take something from him. Seeing an Italian training and playing with me up there makes me want it even more.”
