Matteo has intensified his training in Monte Carlo and all references to the showgirl have disappeared on social media. The return date is still uncertain, the focus is on Indian Wells and Miami
While rumors are multiplying about a crisis, or even a breakup, with his girlfriend Melissa Satta, Matteo Berrettini has intensified his training for his return to the field. In recent days, the 26-year-old Roman has posted photos on social media of the work he is doing in Monte Carlo with his coach Francesco Roig, who replaced Berrettini’s historic coach Vincenzo Santopadre at the end of last year.

On Instagram only tennis photos and no more images with Satta, who turned 38 yesterday and there is no trace of Matteo anywhere, in stories, on social media, and on both sides, not even for the simplest wishes . In short, heavy clues that suggest a farewell between the two. The rumours, not confirmed by the parties, have been going on for some time and have bounced around the web in recent days at the speed of light. Berrettini, however, seems to be thinking of something else at the moment. “Step by step”, wrote the former Italian top ten player in a message, underlining his desire to return to being competitive on the court, to return to being the tennis player that the whole world admired. A crazy desire, which Matteo also expressed during the Davis team’s meeting with president Mattarella at the Quirinale: “I want to return playing continuously, I have positive feelings that I haven’t had for a long time”, said the Wimbledon 2021 finalist.

Yes, but when? “Step by step”, one might say, paraphrasing Berrettini’s words on social media. It will take a few more days to reveal whether the former Italian top ten player, who has not played an official match since the US Open, will return to the field for the American Masters 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami. For now, there is no trace of his name among the members. However, his absence from this list does not mean that Berrettini will not be present in California. The Roman would use the protected ranking to return (valid only after 6 months, which would end on February 29), given that he is currently number 124 in the world, but it is not excluded that he is also waiting to receive a wild card to get back into the game. Of course, there is also the hypothesis that the return will still require some time: officially Berrettini has a foot injury and for this reason he has not returned to Australia, where he had gone anyway to try to participate in the Melbourne slam. Indian Wells will start in early March and therefore it won’t take much time to understand Berrettini’s real intentions and possibilities for returning to the field. The desire seems to be there.
