Hold onto your tennis balls, folks—Matteo Berrettini has once again been spotted courtside with her. And by her, we of course mean Ajla Tomljanović, the Aussie-Croatian beauty and Matteo’s former flame who had the tennis world obsessing over their picture-perfect couple vibes until their surprise breakup. So what does it mean that the two were recently seen chatting, smiling, and—dare we say—vibing at a match?
Naturally, fans lost their collective minds. Was this a friendly run-in? A civil exes moment? Or is this the opening chapter of Berljanović: The Sequel? Social media immediately entered full investigation mode. Phones were zoomed in. Body language experts (read: TikTok stans) were consulted. And within hours, #BerrettiniTomljanovic was trending like it was 2022 again.
Let’s review the evidence. Witnesses said the two were “laughing comfortably” together. Laughing comfortably? That’s basically engagement ring territory in exes-speak. Also, Berrettini reportedly offered her a sip from his water bottle. If that’s not intimacy in tennis terms, what is? (We’re only half joking.)
And what about those coordinated outfits? Okay, maybe they weren’t actually coordinated, but you can’t deny that beige blazer and olive green sundress were giving chic exes reuniting in public for a soft launch. Coincidence? Please. Matteo and Ajla know exactly what they’re doing.
Of course, neither camp has confirmed anything. Both are playing it cool, giving the old “just friends” line that no one actually believes. It’s the classic celebrity sport of dodge-the-question—Berrettini style. And while they’re busy pretending this is totally normal, the rest of us are crafting fantasy doubles pairings and wondering if we should be wedding planning.
Is it possible they’re simply reconnecting as friends? Sure. And it’s also possible that Matteo’s abs are not sent from heaven, but we all know that’s a lie. These two had too much chemistry, too many swoon-worthy Instagram moments, and too many post-match hugs to just settle for “friendly exes.” Nope—we’re betting something is brewing.
Maybe it’s a reunion. Maybe it’s a spark reigniting over courtside laughter and shared protein bars. Or maybe—just maybe—it’s all a clever distraction before a big tennis comeback… and an even bigger romantic plot twist.
