ROME – Matteo Berrettini returns in the spotlight, but this time not for its reverse or its powerful service. The news that is making the world of sport tremble (and gossip) comes directly from Federica Lelli, the girlfriend of the Roman tennis player, who broke the silence with shocking statements: “It did not see me for three months just to train for Wimbledon. He turned off the phone, he no longer returned home and retired in a secret base … with a special person.”
Lelli, a singer and influencer very followed on social media, chose to tell everything in a direct Instagram that immediately triggered reactions on the couple’s fans. With a visibly excited but decisive tone, he explained how the choice of caps to isolate himself completely left her “without answers, without explanations, and with the heart in pieces”.
“I understand my career, I understand the commitment,” said Federica. “But so disappear, without even a message? Turn off the phone for whole weeks and not wanting to know anything about our life together? It is not love, it is obsession with the victory.”
According to his words, Berrettini would have voluntarily isolated in a private and very secret structure, far from the well -known training centers, to physically and mentally prepare for the Wimbledon tournament. However, what made the most discuss is the phrase “with a special person”, deliberately left ambiguous.
Who is this person? A new coach? A therapist? Or is there any other? The fans have unleashed with hypotheses of all kinds, while sports tabloids and gossip magazines compete exclusive details.
Sources close to the tennis player team speak of “a path of personal and athletic rebirth”, but do not comment on the sentimental question directly. For his part, Berrettini has not yet issued any official declaration, nor has he denied what Federica said.
In the meantime, on social media, the situation has exploded. Some users defend the choice of athlete, underlining the importance of concentration and discipline at certain levels. Others, however, accuse caps of lack of respect for a person who has always supported him in difficult times.
Matteo’s return to the field to Wimbledon will now also be observed under this new media light. Will he only be able to speak with the racket or the personal case will he continue to chase him on the field?
One thing is certain: behind the cover smile and the sculpted muscles, Berrettini is experiencing one of the most delicate moments of his career – and, perhaps, of his private life.
