WATCH: Stefanos Tsitsipas reacts in disbelief to finding out at what age Matteo Berrettini had his first kiss
Stefanos Tsitsipas’ Priceless Reaction to Matteo Berrettini’s First Kiss Story
Stefanos Tsitsipas had a hilarious reaction upon learning the age at which Matteo Berrettini had his first kiss. The two tennis stars took part in a lighthearted Q&A session at the ATP Rotterdam 2025 (ABN AMRO Open), a clip of which was shared on the tournament’s official Instagram page.
When Tsitsipas found out that Berrettini had his first kiss at just 12 years old, he was visibly stunned and couldn’t hide his shock. He also shared his own first-kiss story:
💬 Interviewer: “First kiss?”
🎾 Tsitsipas: “It came pretty late, I was 21 years old.”
💬 Interviewer: “Matteo, his first kiss was at 12.”
😲 Tsitsipas: “No way!”
💬 Interviewer: “I know!”
The 26-year-old then humorously reflected on the difference between their experiences, joking:
🗣 Tsitsipas: “Basically, it took me twelve more years. I lived a second life.”
The clip also featured Carlos Alcaraz, who revealed he had his first kiss at 15. The young Spaniard has advanced to the semifinals of the tournament, where he is set to face Hubert Hurkacz. If he reaches the final, he will take on Alex de Minaur, who cruised past Mattia Bellucci with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 victory.
Tsitsipas and Berrettini’s Disappointing Rotterdam 2025 Runs
Stefanos Tsitsipas entered the ABN AMRO Open 2025 as the sixth seed, hoping to bounce back after an early exit at the Australian Open, where he fell to Alex Michelsen in a four-set clash.
In Rotterdam, Tsitsipas started strong, defeating Harold Mayot in the opening round before overcoming Tallon Griekspoor in the second. However, his run came to an abrupt halt in the quarterfinals, where he faced Mattia Bellucci—the 23-year-old Italian who had stunned Daniil Medvedev in the previous round. Bellucci continued his impressive form, defeating Tsitsipas in straight sets and ending the Greek’s campaign.
Meanwhile, Matteo Berrettini had an equally tough tournament. After an early Australian Open exit at the hands of Holger Rune, the Italian hoped for a fresh start in Rotterdam. However, he suffered a heartbreaking first-round loss to Griekspoor in a tight match, falling 3-6, 7-6(2), 6-7(4).
Despite their early exits, both players provided some entertainment off the court—particularly with Tsitsipas’ amusing reaction to Berrettini’s first-kiss revelation!
