As Wimbledon gets underway for another year on 27 June, there’s a lot to think about. How many tonnes of strawberries will be consumed over the next few weeks? Is Rafael Nadal’s left foot injury okay? What do you wear if you’ve managed to wangle your way to centre court? Lots to mull over.
But one of our biggest intrigues is the Italian tennis player Matteo Berrettini. The 26-year-old player, ranked number six in the world, was in with the fashion crowd at last year’s Met Gala, won the Queen’s Club Trophy for a second time last week and was narrowly beaten by the world number one, Novak Djokovic, in the men’s final at Wimbledon last year.
Yet, away from tennis, everyone wants to know one thing: Is Matteo Berrettini married? And we’ve done the research to get you the answers. Here’s everything you need to know...
Is Matteo Berrettini Married?
Here’s some news to put a spring in your step: Matteo Berrettini is single. Up until last week, the sportsman had been dating fellow tennis player Ajla Tomljanovic since 2019 but they have now confirmed their split.
'Yeah, I'm single but it's not like something that I am looking for, like, it's not that I'm waking up and have to find love,’ the sportsman told reporters. ‘It's just something that is happening, it's good for me, if it doesn't, it's another day, you know.
‘Overall, I'm spending more time with my team, I spent a lot of time with my family when I was injured, and I enjoyed a different kind of life a little bit.’
Who is Ajla Tomljanovic?
Matteo Berrettini’s ex-girlfriend Ajla Tomljanovic is a Croatian-born tennis player who represents Australia at an international level.
Speaking of their relationship before their recent split, Berrettini said his game had improved after coupling up with Tomljanovic: ‘I mean since I started dating her, I really started to play well so I don’t know,’ he said. ‘I mean, yeah, I have to admit it but yeah it’s important to have a person that understands what I’m doing.’
‘Of course, we talk about tennis but when we hang out, when we spend time together, we try to think about the other part,’ he added. Tennis is a big part of life, you’re practicing all day. So, when we go for dinner, and we don’t speak about tennis and I kind of like it.’
