In her recent podcast, Rennae Stubbs said- “I mean that’s the one thing I would have to say against Matteo Berrettini for example. You know look and listen we call spades spades in this podcast, okay? And I love Matteo, he is a great guy, he is very good looking, all the stuff we all love about him. He is an amazing tennis player and yes he has had terrible injuries in the last couple of years. But when he was at his peak, when he was doing really well he was going to the Met Gala, he was going to this, he was doing photoshoots.
She further added: “You know its like I am fine with that coz Jannik got his Gucci stuff and clearly Matteo has the boss stuff. But that’s where you have to, could maybe fault him a little bit. Now a lot of people have given Emma Raducanu a shit of that. You know that’s why it is important to have people around you. They are advising you to say what is your priority.”
