Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini, surprise workout

“Step by step, together with the best”: with a smile that says it all, Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini show side by side in a selfie taken on the training courts in Monte Carlo.

An image that immediately made the rounds on social media, portraying the world number one next to the former top 10 player, both of whom were key players in the historic Davis Cup victory in Malaga.

It has been a month since Berrettini’s last appearance on a tennis court. After the disappointment of Wimbledon, where he was eliminated in the first round, and four consecutive forfeits, the Roman had announced a break to reflect on his future, which has been challenged by too many injuries.

Sinner, fresh from his triumph at Wimbledon, is training in Monte Carlo before beginning the season on American cement that will culminate with the Us Open.
