Who is Matteo Berrettini’s girlfriend Melissa Satta?
MATTEO BERRETTINI is hoping secure his first-ever Grand Slam at Wimbledon – and stunning girlfriend Melissa Satta will be cheering him on from courtside.
But their relationship hasn’t always been rosy as online trolls once accused Satta of distracting her tennis ace boyfriend in more ways than one.
And SunSport has all the information on who she is and what was exactly said.
Who is Melissa Satta?
Born in Boston, Massachusetts Melissa Satta was a Maxim magazine model in 2015 and appeared in Sports Illustrated in 2010.
However, sports fans might remember her from her past relationship to former Barcelona and Tottenham star Kevin Prince-Boateng.
Rumours of Berrettini and Satta’s relationship first sparked when the couple was seen at a basketball game earlier this year together with one witness revealing they shared a kiss.
But it is more than evident that they are together as the pair have been spotted in public and Satta has been attending Berrettini’s matches at this year’s Wimbledon.
What did the online trolls accuse Melissa Satta of doing?
The TV presenter hit out at online trolls who accused her of having too much sex with Matteo Berrettini as the Italian ace struggled with a number of injuries.
Satta told Vanity Fair: “It was something that had been going on for months, when our story became known in January.
“[They say] ‘Berrettini doesn’t win because Satta is distracting him, she’s too demanding’… But I held back.”
Satta unleashed an epic social media rant last month where she raged against the “bullying and sexism” she had been subjected to.
Berrettini has also hit back against the claims.
Satta added of her experiences: “[This has happened before] with my ex-husband [Boateng] who suffered from pubalgia. Even there they attacked me saying that we had too much sex and that was the cause of his physical problems.
“[The injury Berrettini has] is an injury in the same place as the one in 2021, when I didn’t know him. But in any case – do I really have to answer to these people?”
