Italian tennis star Matteo Berrettini took a welcome break from the intense world of professional tennis to spend quality family time with his girlfriend, Melissa Satta, and her son Maddox in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Berrettini’s last on-court appearance was at the 2023 US Open, where an ankle injury forced him to retire. Since then, he has been on a mission to recuperate and savor moments with his loved ones.
On November 7, Melissa Satta shared glimpses of their Monte Carlo escapade on her Instagram story, offering a heartwarming peek into their family bonding experience. In one photograph, Berrettini was seen capturing a selfie with the trio in an elevator, affectionately captioned by Satta as “Family time in Monte Carlo.” Another photo showcased Melissa Satta’s son, Maddox, relishing a post-tennis match meal, humorously noted as “Someone was hungry after the tennis match.”

Berrettini and Melissa Satta have been increasingly visible at public events, showcasing the development of their relationship. They were both present at this year’s Ryder Cup gala night in Rome, where Satta served as the host and presenter for the opening ceremony of the prestigious golf competition. A week before the Ryder Cup, the couple graced the BOSS fashion show during Milan Fashion Week.
Matteo Berrettini’s retreat from professional tennis not only marks a period of recuperation but also underscores the importance of cherishing family moments alongside his girlfriend, Melissa Satta, and her son Maddox. These moments emphasize the need to strike a balance between a demanding career and personal relationships while creating cherished memories.
