After his run at the Monte Carlo Masters ended, Matteo Berrettini chose to step away from tennis for a bit. He spent time with his girlfriend Vanessa on a beach holiday. The couple shared a soft and happy moment on a yacht during sunset.Vanessa posted the picture on her social media. She wore a loose white t-shirt, while Berrettini kept it simple in black swim shorts. The two stood close, hugging each other as the sun went down behind them. Her caption made it clear that the trip was special. She wrote, “What a beautiful surprise this life has given me! +30 vecchietto Happy birthday.”
Their relationship became public in October 2025 when they shared a mirror selfie together.

Matteo Berrettini stuns Daniil Medvedev with dominant win as Russian reacts in frustration
Before his exit, Berrettini had one of his best matches in recent times. He defeated Daniil Medvedev in a very one-sided match at the Monte Carlo Masters. The scoreline shocked many fans, especially because Medvedev is a former world number one.Medvedev struggled badly during the match. He made around 30 unforced errors and failed to build any rhythm. At one point, he could not even hold his serve. Berrettini, on the other hand, stayed sharp from the start and never gave him a chance.Speaking after the match, Berrettini said, “I think it was one of the best performances of my life.” The quote was shared by the ATP Tour. He also added, “I faced two break points in the first game and then after that it felt I was playing better than him.
I was not expecting to win zero, zero like that.”The frustration showed on Medvedev’s side. During the match, he smashed his racket multiple times on the clay court. Later, he threw the broken frame into a trash can. Because of this, he received a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct and may also face a fine.
