Matteo Berrettini receives $15 gift card and plastic trophy for winning hilarious competition

Italy’s Matteo Berrettini received an interesting gift card. The 28-year-old is currently taking part at the Indian Wells, where he is featured in the singles and doubles categories. In the singles category, his journey ended in round 32, where he lost to Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-3.

In the doubles category, Berrettini is still very much alive as he and his partner Lorenzo Sonego have booked their place in the quarterfinal after beating the pair of Patrik Trhac and Ryan Seggerman in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2.

Berrettini and his partner Sonego will now face the pair of Croatia’s Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo in the last-eight of the competition on Wednesday. They defeated the pair of Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac and Britain’s Jack Draper in the round of 16 in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 7-5. Regardless of whatever happens in the doubles category, Berrettini will be disappointed with his overall performance, especially in the singles category, largely because he arrived into the competition on the back of some impressive performances. His most recent outing before arriving at the Indian Wells was at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship where he was knocked after losing in the quarterfinal to Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas with a score of 7-6, 1-6, 6-4.
