Since his withdrawal from the 2023 French Open, Matteo Berrettini is taking the time to rest and practice and get back in form.
The Italian last played at this year's Monte Carlo Masters where he withdrew from his Round of 16 match against Holger Rune due to an oblique muscle tear. Since then, he missed most of the clay season, pulling out of Madrid Open and the Italian Open.
The 27-year-old shared an update on his off-court whereabouts via Instagram. He posted a picture of himself outside the race tracks of the F1 Circuit de Monaco along with his girlfriend Melissa Satta, Italian football player Marco Verratti and wife Jessica Aidi Verratti.
The thrilling contest saw two-time F1 World Champion Max Verstappen clinch his fourth victory of the season. He was followed by Fernando Alonso in second and Esteban Ocon in third place.
The star-studded event also saw the likes of Hollywood star Tom Holland and Brazilian football player Neymar Jr.
