Matteo Berrettini, Felix Auger Aliassime and Ajla Tomljanovic have a very close relationship. It’s well-known that Ajla has been dating Matteo Berrettini for long and her cousin, Nina Ghaibi, is Felix’ girlfriend. Therefore, Matteo, Felix, Ajla, and Nina spend a huge amount of time together.
Destiny wanted Matteo and Felix to clash in what will be one of their most important matches in the Wimbledon quarter-final.
Curiously, Ajla also reached the quarter-finals in Wimbledon before bowing to Ashleigh Barty. After the match with her fellow Australian, Ajla was asked to comment about her relationship with Felix Auger Aliassime and what she expects from his clash with Matteo.
This was Ajla answer:
“Well, we all played on the same day so far. We always had this thing. Nina, my cousin, she’s dating Felix. She was always watching all of our matches. On the days we’re playing, you’re so busy. We got to get a three out of three. Felix was always the last one on. When we would see him, it was like, Okay, Felix, it’s your turn now.
After we won, all three of us passed each other in the hallway. I was so happy for him because he, like, is everything, like how he goes about the sport is unbelievable. He wants it so much. He loves everything about it. To see him do well, it makes me so happy.
I gave him a fist pump, like, Yay, Felix. I think they actually also hugged. I’m happy one of them will be through on Wednesday.
Yeah, I mean, what else? If he had lost today, that would have sucked more. Of course, I’d rather see them in the final, but I think it’s unbelievable that one of them will be in the semis.”
