Not missing the opportunity to give an judgment on the previous companions of the blue tennis player, expected on the clay of Monte-Carlo: "He's had them before, maybe even better. Better than this? He must know that at 35 or 37 this thing will end, he must face life in a serene way."

It's not the first time that Adriano Panatta has praised the Italian tennis player, current number three in the world, and it's not the first time that he has focused on his private life.

"Berrettini and Sinner both have the opportunity to return to the top ten in the world and then to aim higher," he had declared in an interview with AGI on the occasion of World Tennis Day. Also on that occasion he had always commented on the new relationship between him and the Italian showgirl, in response to the words of Pietrangeli who had compared the Wimbledon finalist and the Roland Garros winner for their lives outside the tennis court: "I didn't do badly.
