Matteo Berrettini’s girlfriend Melissa Satta says Andre Agassi’s biography is helping her navigate the tennis world

Matteo Berrettini's girlfriend Melissa Satta has sought help from one of the best-known names in the business to help her navigate the tennis world better - Andre Agassi.

New to the world of top level tennis and the insane level of sacrifices the sport demands, the Italian model wanted to understand the world better. Speaking in a recent interview with Vanity Fair Italy, Satta revealed that she read Agassi's biography "Open" in an attempt to get to know the inner workings of the game.

The 37-year-old also touched on the 10-year age difference between her and Berrettini. She stated that while she had more experience than the World No. 21, he was someone who took on a lot of "responsibilty" - a quality that bridged the gap between them.

"I have a lot of experience, but he also has a lot of responsibility. There are 50-year-old men, I guarantee it, who don't know what a commitment is. Being a tennis player from that level is a life of sacrifices, I didn't know it and I even read the book 'Open' by André Agassi to understand it," Satta said.

Melissa Satta disclosed that the Italian was a very "romantic" person, someone who not only got her flowers but also made her coffee in the morning.

"Matteo Berrettini is romantic, and not only when he gives me roses, but also when he makes me coffee in the morning," Satta said.

Interestingly, Satta also revealed that she had told herself after her divorce with football star Kevin-Prince Boateng to never date another athlete, as she wanted "normality" in her daily life.

"The only thing I said to myself after my divorce [with Kevin-Prince Boateng] was: never again an athlete. I wanted normality, the famous routine," Satta added.
