Il Mondo: Apologize for your Berrettini slander: He is the 2022 AO Champ

[Lleytonstation]

Some of you, many of you, must apologize for the atrocities you have committed. This man has won 4 ATP250 titles and a ATP500 title. He has gotten lessons from Fed at Wimbledon, has tattoos, beat Oscar Otte to reach the USO QF, beat Monfils to reach the USO SF, and of course beat Hurkacz to reach a final of WC. He is the 2nd best looking player on tour from Italy and is better than Sinner (okay, this one doesnt mean anything, but you get the point).

Some of you make fun of his movement and backhand... well let me tell you... have you seen his serve? He is the 6th best server in the game and 76th best returner. It is time to put some respect on his name!!

So stop with the atrociously accurate nicknames:

Berrettini Martini
Berrettini Linguine
WTA Backhand
Berrettini Weenie
Mateo Direct to Video
Mateo Barillo
Spaghetti Warehouse
Olive Garden Host

It is time we respect our new AO champion.

This is a man that has beaten a 14 and 16 seed at Wimbleon.
This man beat a 13 seed at USO.
Beat a 19 seed at AO.
He has played at RG.

You can laugh all you want, you can poke at him, you can even hit a better backhand then him, but you will never understand how he got ranked 7. Something none of us have ever done.

So I urge you all to apologize to this man who is on his way to making history. I myself have, and have been forgiven.

... and that was just his forehand.

Don’t forget that he brutally beat #6 seed Federer at this year’s RG. Fed couldn’t even take a game off him.

You may have pissed me off worse than an antivaxxer, but I enjoyed your post.

Lets go Berre!

That first GIF is so so sad lol

 

[megamind]

The last 3 slams, he was stopped by Novak
This slam Novak isn’t there to stop him from winning it all

 

[Deleted member 788697]

Why does Berrettini lose very slam he enters?
What's his main weakness?

I have never seen things in your perspective. Thanks for bringing that up.

So he lost all three? Both Diego and sinner only lost FO to Rafa the past TWO years.

This is a good thread, but no way he beats the guru.

To Matteo's benefit, I will say that my mum thinks that he is rather handsome.

A lesser Berrettini saw off a slightly less old Monfils a couple of years ago in New York, so if he screws this one up it will be prime justification for the existence of most of this threads content.

Also, I'd say most peoples mums finding him rather handsome has to be at least half the reason so many people here dislike him.

"1 down". He's coming for the Novak/Roger/Lendl plate collection record.

 

[junior74]

A valuable lesson will be given in the next round

I don't dispute any of this.

His breathtaking win over the mighty Cam Norrie in the final of Queen's last year will never be forgotten.

Dude its not over just yet...

 

[Jack the Hack]

This is the best thread I've seen on here in awhile.

 

[Fabresque]

Never want to hear berr hype ever again.

Rafa also won 6-2 6-3 against Tsits last year and blew the match lol. It’s not over yet but, probably is.

 

[yokied]

Olive Garden just couldn’t handle the truth.

 

[Jack the Hack]

The only thing that Mateo Tomato has that is better than Rafa is his hairline.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Dude its not over just yet...

It's over. Rafa sitting at 21.

 

[ronalditop]

Wta backhand and Mateo direct to video made me lose it. XdDDDDD
