Matteo Berrettini failed to erase the taboo of Miami, a tournament he played three times without ever winning a single match, and he lost on his debut to Mackenzie McDonald.
The Italian tennis player fought until the end, but did not win either of the two tie-breaks that decided the fate of the meeting
. Apart from the United Cup, this is Berrettini’s fourth defeat of the season on the ATP Tour.
In 2022, the Italian was forced to miss the entire clay season due to right-hand surgery and will therefore not defend on points until Roland Garros. Berrettini’s goal is precisely to raise his head during the European clay season and recover important positions in the standings.
Jacopo: “The criticism of my brother is disrespectful”
Melissa Satta joined Berrettini in Miami last week and, in her match against McDonald’s, she made her first appearance in the blue box.
The relationship between the two has unfortunately divided the web world, which has adopted a rather harsh attitude towards Berrettini. The Italian received various, often unjustified, criticism precisely because of the new story with Melissa Satta.
Jacopo Berrettini wanted to defend Matteo dyears an exclusive interview with OA Sport. “I think he responded with a very recent interview and there isn’t much to say or add to what he said.
It seems very wrong and disrespectful to me to question something that is very beautiful, because we know how beautiful a human relationship or a relationship like that can be.
His work surely leads him to expose himself a little more. I don’t want to say anything other than what he said. Not everything he is going through affects his tennis, but other things do, including his injuries. We talk about it too little.
I’m happy for him that he has this relationship, the rest doesn’t matter,” said Jacopo Berrettini.
