MusaHold on to your racquets, folks—Matteo Berrettini has dropped a bombshell bigger than one of his blistering forehands! In a candid and concerning health update, the Italian heartthrob confessed something that has the tennis world gasping: “I can’t play longer.” That’s not just a dramatic line from a tennis soap opera—it’s Berrettini openly acknowledging that his body might be done putting up with the tour grind.
Injuries have been haunting Matteo like a clingy ex. From abdominal strains to foot problems, it’s like every part of him is filing a complaint. His calendar’s starting to look more like a hospital appointment schedule than a tournament lineup. And let’s be honest—when the man who once graced the Wimbledon final can’t even commit to a set without flinching, alarm bells start ringing faster than a Serena Williams serve.
Now, before fans start crying into their espresso cups, let’s unpack this. Matteo hasn’t officially retired—but he’s definitely pressing the pause button. And not the “quick bathroom break” kind. This might be a long intermission, and you better believe every tabloid in Europe is already speculating. “Will he model full-time now?” “Is he joining a cooking show?” “Will he write a tell-all titled From Love to Injury?”
Add to this the whispers about his off-court stress, including a rumored rocky patch with model Melissa Satta, and you’ve got yourself a spicy tennis telenovela. Matteo’s abs may still be Instagram-worthy, but his knees are clearly calling for early retirement.
Still, never count out a comeback from a man who once took Novak Djokovic to the wire. Maybe this is just the classic “second-act” buildup—think Rocky in Rome, with better hair and tighter shorts.
In the meantime, Berrettini might want to cozy up with a heating pad, avoid yoga for a while, and maybe, just maybe, stop diving for those impossible volleys like he’s auditioning for Mission: Impossible. Rest up, Matteo. The court will still be here. And so will the headlines.
