Ajla Tomljanovic has a great coach for this Miami Open: her boyfriend Matteo Berrettini! Ajla and Matteo have been dating for roughly 2 years and their relationship is stronger and stronger after having “survived” living together during the lockdown.
Unfortunately, Berrettini is still struggling with the abdominal injury that prevented him from playing in the 4th round of the Australian Open. Matteo was meant to play in Miami, but eventually he had to pull out. However, he decided to stay in Florida to support and “coach” his girlfriend Ajla.
Apparently, things seem to work as Tomljanovic defeated Anastasia Potapova 7-5 6-0 in the first round. However, she will have to face the tournament favorite Naomi Osaka in the second round.
