Matteo Berrettini explains what he will do for the 2025 season after splitting with coach Francisco Roig
Matteo Berrettini announced he was parting ways with coach Francisco Roig after just 10 months together.
Having teamed up with Vincenzo Santopadre for over a decade, Matteo Berrettini split with him this time last year.
An injury at the US Open forced the Italian to the sidelines for close to six months – fitness struggles that have semi-disrupted this year too.
The 28-year-old returned in March and won his first title since 2022 in Morocco, before injuries reared their head and caused him to miss virtually all of the clay-court season.
Coming back at Wimbledon, Berrettini later picked up his second and third titles of the year with back-to-back success in Gstaad and Kitzbühel.
Now however, Berrettini has split with coach Francisco Roig, despite their largely successful first year together.
Matteo Berrettini announces plan for 2025
A spate of coaching partnerships have come towards the end of the 2024 season, but mostly on the WTA circuit.
Iga Swiatek split with Tomasz Wiktorowski to join up with Wim Fissette, who’d just been sacked by Naomi Osaka.
In a similar time period to Berrettini, Coco Gauff split with Brad Gilbert – her coach of 14 months who helped deliver her maiden Grand Slam.
