A tennis star’s girlfriend has hit back over claims she injured him by having ‘too much sex’ with him.
Matteo Berrettini is one of the best players in the world at the moment, but the Italian has been sidelined recently with an abdominal strain.

Clearly trying to stir the pot, fans have now come up with a wild theory as to how the Italian sustained the oblique strain.
Fingers are being pointed at Berrettini’s girlfriend Melissa Satta, with supporters suggesting his injuries were caused by having 'too much sex'.
“Too bad it’s an injury in the same place as the one in 2021, when I didn’t know him,” Satta told Vanity Fair in regards to her partner's injury woes.
She also told the outlet that she has been the subject of “bullying and sexism” due to her relationship with Berrettini.

“I receive a lot of messages of insults, bullying and sexism,” she said at the time.
“I have chosen to be a public figure, and I accept being exposed and exposing myself on social media, but I’m just trying to have a romantic relationship with another person, I simply want to try to be happy too.”
Unfortunately, Satta is no stranger to these sorts of accusations.

While she was married to former footballer Kevin Prince Boateng, she dealt with a bunch of similar claims.
“Once, my ex-husband, who suffered from pubalgia (chronic groin lesion). There, too, they attacked me saying that we had too much sex and that was the cause of his physical problems,” Satta said.
“The proof that sexism has been and still is there: it’s always women who distract men, and if it’s a woman who loses, then it’s what she eats, not a man.”
Satta, who is an Italian model and television personality, also admitted she has been body shamed online.

“On the body mainly: sometimes I’m too thin, too fat, all redone, badly dressed,” she said.
“But I like myself, and so these things don’t affect me that much.
“But if you go to my private sphere, the alarm goes off: I have told my life several times, with interviews, as well as on social media, of course, but here a limit has been exceeded.”
