Despite claiming that hard courts are his favorite surface, Matteo is gradually beginning to excel on grass. Berrettini won the 2019 Stuttgart Open, reached the semi-finals of the 2019 Halle Open, and reached the Round of 16 at Wimbledon in his second season on grass.
Who is Matteo Berrettini mother Claudia Bigo?
Berrettini was born in Rome, Italy on April 12, 1996, to Claudia Bigo and Luca Berrettini.
He also has a younger brother, Jacopo, who is a professional tennis player and three years Matteo’s junior. Matteo participated in a variety of sports, including swimming, football, and judo, before settling on tennis alongside Jacopo.
For the first time in his career, he qualified for his third consecutive Grand Slam main tournament in 2021 at the US Open. He reached the fourth round for the first time in his career and for the first time in this Major, defeating 20th seed Lorenzo Sonego, Denis Kudla, and Andreas Seppi.
He is the third qualifier to make it to the fourth round for the first time since the event began compiling qualifying records in 1982. It was also the first time three male qualifiers reached the second week of a Grand Slam tournament since the 1995 French Open.
