Matteo Berrettini and his brother Jacopo have a very strong relationship. A few days ago, Matteo confessed that he was incredibly nervous when he watches his girlfriend and brother playing tennis.
During this week, Jacopo Berrettini was playing an ITF event in Casinalbo (Italy). Eventually, he lost in singles, but he was meant to play doubles with his partner Giovanni Fonio. Eventually, he conceded the walkover to get a flight and go and see his big brother playing the Wimbledon semifinal with his parents.
Can you blame him?
