Matteo
Berrettini and
Ajla Tomljanovic discussed their breakup in the new season of
the Netflix series "Break Point."
The former
tennis couple started a relationship in 2019, which was portrayed in the first
part of the first season of "Break Point." It showcased how they
balanced their careers and travels with their life as a couple.
With the
release of the second part of the first season, which covers the WTA and ATP
tour in 2022,
Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanovic spoke about their breakup
after four years.
“This year
has not been great. I wasn't my best self. You could see it from my on-court
behavior. I've also split up with Matteo. Every relationship, it has good times
and bad times. I could just feel that things were not right," Tomljanovic
said.
"You
look for something that will last a lifetime and it wasn't meant to be. Yeah,
it's just life that still happens even though you're a professional
athlete," the Aussie added.
Berretini
and Tomljanovic reportedly separated because they simply weren't happy together:
"We
broke up because in the end, in life, we have to be happy, and if that is not
happening, I think it's not worth it," the Italian said.
The Italian has had a forgettable 2023 due to
injuries that have prevented him from having continuity on the tour. The former
Wimbledon finalist started the year ranked No. 16, but he has now dropped to
No. 35 in the live rankings.
This week, he withdrew from the Queen's Club
Championship before his match against Emil Ruusuvuori, and we will have to wait
and see his physical condition for Wimbledon.
