Matteo Berrettini destroys Italian journalist over Holger Rune injury take: Chilling
Matteo Berrettini claimed he was given “chills” by a remark made by an Italian tennis journalist about Holger Rune’s brutal injury, and the 2021 Wimbledon finalist took to Instagram to call out the Italian media.
Discussing Rune’s Achilles tendon injury and surgery, an Italian tennis commentator described it as something that could end up being “the best thing that could have happened.”
After injuring his Achilles in Stockholm, Rune was heard saying that he heard something “pop.” Then, the 22-year-old’s diagnosis came in and it was revealed that his Achilles was “fully broken on the proximal part.”
It is not a secret that the Achilles injury is one of the toughest to return from in pro sports. After undergoing surgery, Rune is guaranteed to miss at least the first couple of months of the 2026 season.
Berrettini rips a journalist’s take on Rune’s injury: This stuff is really chilling
“Guys I get it all, but this stuff is really chilling, to think an injury of this magnitude could be the best thing to happen to a 22-year-old 11 player in the world is either being in bad faith or understanding very little about this sport and the sport in general,” Berrettini wrote in the comment section of an Eurosport Italia post.
“Competitive maturity and not, it comes with time, with defeats, with victories, with matches lost with match points or maybe wins by playing badly. This is an injury that can radically change a person’s life, let alone a career at this level. I always listen and comment almost never, but here the madness is heard.”
Berrettini also urged the Italian media to change “their culture,” before adding that Rune “will be back and stronger than ever.”
Before the injury, Rune went 36-22 in 2025 and won the ATP 500 tournament in Barcelona.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
