Matteo Berrettini is one of the top favourites to win the US Open title. The Italian player has a huge following in New York and he can also count on the full support of his dear friend Giovanni Bartocci. Giovanni can often be seen in Matteo’s box in New York with his tattoos and long hair.
Giovanni is also the proud owner of the popular restaurant Via Della Pace NYC, a place that is loved especially by the Italian community and a landmark for the Italian tennis players when they play the American major.
Giovanni has a special relationship with Matteo. In 2020, when the US Open was played without the fans, Giovanni was outside the stadium shouting his support for Berrettini.
