Francesco Maestrelli explains why he couldn’t take it anymore

Francesco Maestrelli, in an interview granted to ‘The Nation,’ explained why he couldn’t take it anymore and disclosed the very serious intimidating messages he received after the Bastad defeat to Bosnian Dzumhur.

“I was bothered by direct references to my mother and sister, referred to by their names, offensive, sexist words and in which they wished them death in atrocious suffering,” the Pisano stressed.

“We almost always laugh about it, but sometimes the line is crossed and it is right to denounce. To stop and reflect. Because the lowest blows are those that go straight to the personal sphere of people: mothers, sisters, girlfriends. As also happened recently to Matteo Berrettini,” Maestrelli added.

“Lorenzo Musetti called me and told me that I did well – the athlete’s conclusion – In the past it had happened to him and others like Matteo who are in the Olympus of Italian tennis, and he had chosen to block comments on his social profiles to avoid the nastiness of hundreds of insulting messages. I have done the same in these hours.”
