always together at Wimbledon – Corriere.it

Together, hand in hand, on the paths of Wimbledon. Him with the bag on his shoulders, in training gear. She always next to me.
Matteo Berrettini and Melissa Satta
, returned smiling also via social media. Post a video in a story on Instagram, a walk around the London club. And together the images of a heart and a sun. Berrettini shares the same video, always with heart and sun, and adds a song: «Beautiful Day (Thank You for Sunshine)», «It’s a beautiful day (Thank you for the sun)», a song by Dj Micky M that continues with phrases such as «Thanks for the rain / thanks for the joy / thanks for the suffering / it’s a beautiful day».

Maybe it’s their song, maybe it’s Matteo’s way of recognizing the role of Melissa, who stayed by his side even in difficult moments, when – as he said – “he was in bed crying”.

For sure Berrettini finally seems serene, 100 percent focused on tennis. With Melissa always by her side: in the box in the stands to suffer during the matches, hand in hand in the moments away from the field. In the match against Zverev she almost looked after him, the last one to give him a high five in the tunnel leading to the centre-back when the match resumed after a 46′ interruption due to rain, at the most delicate moment. Now they can rejoice together and in fact the story on Instagram continues with Melissa who, finally smiling, stands up to applaud Matteo’s winning point against Zverev.

Today Matteo is looking for the feat against Alcaraz to return to the Wimbledon quarterfinals: a magical place for him, where in 2021 he reached the final (beaten by the cannibal Djokovic) on the night that crowned Italy as European champions at Wembley. This time on the Center Court, concentrated and attentive, there will also be Melissa.
