Few players test their fans’ nerves quite like Matteo Berrettini. Just when his comeback felt real at the 2026 French Open, a hip injury forced him to stop mid-quarterfinal against Matteo Arnaldi (Roland-Garros, the tournament’s official site). This profile separates what’s confirmed from what’s still rumor — his relationship history, the injury timeline, the scan results, and what his earnings actually show.

Who is Matteo Berrettini in a relationship with?
The short answer: he is not publicly with anyone. Since his split from fellow tour player Ajla Tomljanovic in 2023, Berrettini has kept his private life off the record, and social-media speculation has run well ahead of anything he has confirmed.
Current relationship status
- No confirmed partner since the 2023 breakup.
- Publicly, he has appeared single through the 2025 season, and no serious relationship has been reported since.
- Any “new girlfriend” claims online are unconfirmed rumors.
Berrettini’s love life is one of the least documented parts of his profile. Treat any unverified partner claim as rumor until a credible outlet or the player himself names someone.
Does he have children?
- No children, according to available biographical records.
- No public statement from Berrettini or a former partner mentions a child.
The implication: the only verified relationship chapter is the Tomljanovic years, which ended in 2023. Everything else is guesswork.
What has happened to Matteo Berrettini?
The 2026 season has been Berrettini’s most competitive in years — and the clearest proof that his body is still in charge. The loop is consistent: strong return, withdrawal, comeback, then another stop.
Injury updates
- He reportedly missed the 2026 Australian Open because of oblique discomfort, withdrawing late (Tennis Infinity (tennis news site)).
- Before that, he pulled out of a Melbourne exhibition in January because of illness (ABC News Australia (Australian public broadcaster)).
- On June 3, 2026, he retired from the Roland Garros quarterfinal with a hip injury — more on that below.
Recent tournament results
- February 2026: beat Federico Coria 7-5, 7-5 in Buenos Aires in his first event back (ATP Tour (governing body)).
- June 2026: reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time in almost four years (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster)).
Latest news
- The follow-up scans found no significant muscle injuries, and Berrettini said he was already rehabbing with Wimbledon as the target (Field Level Media (sports wire service)).
- The quarterfinal run lifted him back into the conversation — but the ranking remains near world No. 105, far from the No. 6 peak of January 2022.
The pattern: Berrettini’s 2026 season is a relay race between sharp tennis and an unreliable body. Each return looks convincing until the next withdrawal.
Why did Berrettini just retire?
First, a necessary clarification: this was a match retirement, not a career announcement. Berrettini stopped during his Roland Garros quarterfinal against Matteo Arnaldi and has already signaled his intention to return.
Match retirement, not career retirement
- He stopped after 1 hour 40 minutes, trailing 7-5, 5-2 — the timing per The Athletic / New York Times (sports journalism), the scoreline per Roland-Garros (official tournament site).
- He had been playing some of his best tennis in months before the injury stopped him.
The hip injury and the scan results
- The injury was to his hip (ABC News Australia (Australian public broadcaster)).
- Berrettini said at first that he did not know the exact diagnosis and needed scans (TennisUpToDate (tennis news site)).
- He admitted he feared being out for three months, a fear the clean scans later eased.
- The scans, reported by the sports wire service Field Level Media, showed no significant muscle injuries.
Future plans
- Wimbledon is the stated target, with rehabilitation already under way, according to Field Level Media.
- A run on grass, his strongest surface historically, would do more for his ranking than any other stretch of the season.
“No significant muscle injuries” is the best possible scan result — but Berrettini’s 2022-2024 history shows how quickly hip problems turn into months off the tour.
What this means: the comeback is on a timer. Grass gives Berrettini his fastest route back to deep runs, and Wimbledon is only weeks away — but only if the hip holds through five matches.
What happened to Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanovic?
This is the one relationship chapter with a public record. Berrettini and Tomljanovic were a high-profile couple on tour from 2021 until 2023, and the breakup was confirmed without scandal.
Relationship timeline
- 2021: the relationship became public while both were competing regularly on tour.
- 2022-2023: Berrettini dealt with abdominal and hand injuries during this stretch, missing long stretches of the tour.
- 2023: the split was confirmed.
Breakup details
- Tomljanovic addressed the split in a 2023 interview and spoke about the relationship with mutual respect.
- Neither player has publicly detailed the reasons behind the decision.
- The couple did not have children.
The trade-off: when a relationship plays out in headlines for two years, the ending gets replayed in every future interview. Berrettini’s silence since 2023 is the clearest sign that he prefers it that way.
What is Matteo Berrettini’s net worth?
Money is where the public numbers end and the guessing begins. The verified figure is career prize money; everything else is estimation.
Earnings from tennis
- Career prize money: more than $10 million, per ATP Tour records.
- His deepest major runs — the 2021 Wimbledon final and the 2019-2022 stretch when he regularly reached the second week of slams — account for the biggest share of that total.
Endorsements
- Known sponsors include Yonex, Rolex, and Hugo Boss.
- Endorsement income is not public, which is exactly why net worth estimates vary so much.
Estimated net worth
- Public estimates place Berrettini’s net worth between $10 million and $15 million.
- That range is an estimate, not an audited figure.
Prize money has passed $10 million, but a ranking outside the top 100 changes the math: sponsorship renewals, not match checks, will decide how Berrettini’s income curve looks at 30.
The catch: nobody outside his management knows the true number. The only safe statement is the prize-money floor, and that floor has not moved since the Roland Garros retirement.
Career timeline
Nine entries, one pattern: every career peak has been followed by a physical reset.
| Period | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 2015 | Turned professional. |
| 2019 | Won his first ATP title in Budapest; named ATP Newcomer of the Year. |
| 2021 | Reached the Wimbledon final, losing to Novak Djokovic; entered the top 10. |
| January 2022 | Achieved a career-high ranking of No. 6. |
| 2022-2023 | Abdominal tear and hand surgery caused long absences. |
| 2023 | Split with Ajla Tomljanovic; parted ways with longtime coach Vincenzo Santopadre. |
| 2024 | Returned to the tour but struggled with consistency and match retirements due to cramps. |
| 2025 | Ranking slid outside the top 50. |
| 2026 | Missed the Australian Open (Tennis Infinity (tennis news site)); won in Buenos Aires; reached the Roland Garros quarterfinals, then retired with a hip injury (Roland-Garros (official tournament site)). |
The implication: Berrettini’s career is a series of resets. The talent was never the issue; the recovery clock is.
Confirmed facts vs. what’s unclear
A low-information environment rewards skepticism. Here is the split between what’s on the record and what is still open.
Confirmed
- Born April 12, 1996, in Rome.
- Career-high ranking of No. 6, reached on January 31, 2022.
- Reached the 2021 Wimbledon final.
- Split from Ajla Tomljanovic in 2023.
- Has no children.
- Suffered a hip injury at the 2026 French Open, confirmed by tournament coverage.
Unclear
- Exact current relationship status — rumors are not confirmation.
- Future career plans, including any retirement timeline.
- Exact net worth — estimates range from $10 million to $15 million.
- Length of the 2026 hip layoff — at one point Berrettini feared three months.
- Whether Wimbledon actually happens — the goal is stated, not guaranteed.
- What triggered the hip flare-up — scans cleared muscle damage, but the cause is unexplained.
- Whether his ranking can return to the top 100 without a deep major run.
Why this matters: with so little official disclosure, the unclear list is where most reader misinformation starts.
In his own words
“I’m tired of retiring.”

What these quotes share: a player who keeps insisting tennis is worth the pain, even as his body keeps interrupting the relationship.
The state of play
Berrettini’s career is now a race between talent and calendar. The 2026 season produced both versions of him: the player who outplayed Federico Coria in Buenos Aires and reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time in almost four years, and the player who walked off court in Paris with a hip that will not cooperate. The scans are clear, Wimbledon is the target, and a ranking near world No. 105 means every match now carries ranking pressure. For Italian tennis fans, the choice is clear: buy into the Wimbledon comeback now, or wait for proof that the hip can survive five matches.
