Berrettini is set to miss the Italian Open after missing the Madrid Open with a persistent muscle tear issue.

But it is Satta who has found herself coming under fire from fans.

It is all too familiar territory for the TV host who found herself accused of having "too much sex" with ex-husband Kevin-Prince Boateng and triggering his injury problems.

She went public with her new relationship with Berrettini at the beginning of the year but has faced a strange backlash from fans.

Satta told Vanity Fair: "It was something that had been going on for months, when our story became known in January.

"[They say] 'Berrettini doesn't win because Satta is distracting him, she's too demanding'… But I held back."

Satta unleashed an epic social media rant last month where she raged against the "bullying and sexism" she had been subjected to.

Berrettini has also hit back against the claims.

Satta added of her experiences: "[This has happened before] with my ex-husband [Boateng] who suffered from pubalgia. Even there they attacked me saying that we had too much sex and that was the cause of his physical problems.

"[The injury Berrettini has] is an injury in the same place as the one in 2021, when I didn't know him. But in any case - do I really have to answer to these people?"

Boateng is still playing at the age of 36 for German club Hertha Berlin.

He has previously played for some of Europe's biggest clubs including Barcelona, Dortmund and AC Milan.

The former Ghana international also appeared in the Premier League for Tottenham and Portsmouth earlier in his career.

Meanwhile, Berrettini is hunting for his first Grand Slam win after losing the 2021 Wimbledon final to Novak Djokovic.
