Some of the top names that are competing at the ongoing ATP 250 Napoli Cup include top ten local favorite Matteo Berrettini who recently also met former footballer Fabio Cannavaro on the sidelines of the event.
Berrettini even kicked a ball to the goal before taking the court in one of his matches at the tournament. On Instagram, the Italian player captioned a photo with Cannavaro saying, “Honoured to have met you Captain!”
However, at the ongoing Napoli Cup, a Colombian player called Nicolas Barrientos created the most amount of controversy when he levelled charges of the tournament organizers allegedly mistreating him by creating a problematic hotel situation due to which he found his wife’s and his belongings thrown across the floor of the room he had booked.
In more wild scenes, some spectators gathered around the Napoli tournament complex recently after play was suspended for the second consecutive day due to slippery court conditions. The spectators shouted slurs such as “you are a sh*t figure” and demanded a full refund for their tickets due to the agony they suffered.
Matteo Berrettini responds to the Napoli tournament fiasco, says he doesn’t like to talk about things that aren’t working
Berrettini is someone who usually stays away from making comments on controversies even when asked about it. And this time was no different despite the magnitude of the situation in Napoli.
“It’s a complex question, because I don’t like to talk about things that aren’t working. It is undeniable that there have been difficulties and that the organization is doing everything to adapt,” Berrettini said before his quarter-final against Taro Daniel.
In other news, Berrettini is reportedly now dating 27-year-old Italian model, radio and TV presenter Paola Di Benedetto after said to have broken up with WTA player Ajla Tomljanovic.
At the moment, there is no official confirmation about the above but the rumors are sure doing the rounds. Di Benedetto is back from a short relationship with singer Rkomi, but at the moment no further details are confirmed about this as well.
