BREAKING: Italy’s national treasure and walking thirst trap Matteo Berrettini has officially left the Wimbledon courts and sprinted straight into a shirtless Roman holiday. Did he lose in the first round? Yes. Did he also win the hearts (and hormones) of everyone with functioning vision? Absolutely. 🧎♀️💦
Spotted on July 3, the 29-year-old certified Mediterranean snack was out there living his best post-defeat fantasy at Bagni Sirena — which sounds like a beach club but might actually be Heaven’s waiting room. Matteo was lounging in Santa Margherita Ligure, which is basically Portofino’s cooler, less touristy cousin with more gelato and fewer paparazzi.
And babes — he was SHIRTLESS. We’re talking chiseled-abs-that-could-slice-prosciutto shirtless. He looked like he just stepped out of a cologne commercial titled Eau de Regret but Make it Sexy. 😮💨
After roasting his delts in the Italian sun like a parmesan crisp, Matteo tossed on a crisp white shirt (tragic), plugged in his AirPods (likely blasting Lana Del Rey’s Sad Girl Era) and took a broody stroll like he was auditioning for the next season of White Lotus: Amalfi Coast Edition.
Now let’s talk tennis (ugh, fine): Berrettini got bodied in Round 1 at Wimbledon by Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak — yes, we had to Google that name too. Afterwards, Matteo spilled some sad-boy tea in a press conference, basically saying tennis hasn’t been giving lately. Like, at all.
“I don’t enjoy being on the court right now,” he confessed. “This isn’t how I want to feel out there.”
Oof. He sounds like someone two episodes deep into Euphoria season 2.
So what’s next for Italy’s finest export since burrata? Hopefully: some rest, reflection, and maybe a Dolce & Gabbana underwear campaign? Because if we can’t watch him win trophies, at least let us watch him not wear clothes.
Praying for Matteo’s career. But more importantly: praying for more shirtless pics. 🙏👀
