Tennis Pro Matteo Berrettini & Sex Machine Girlfriend Melissa Satta Split Up After 'Intense Relationship'

At the end of the day, it turns out there's such a thing as too much sex for a guy in his 20s. 

Tennis pro Matteo Berrettini, 27, announced over the weekend that he called off his relationship with sex machine Melissa Satta, 38, who once admitted she's a "seven to ten times a week" kind of woman who hates foreplay and once announced, "I prefer to be on top so that I can be in control."

From the sound of things, Matteo had all that he can handle. The poor guy seems to just want a normal life like typical guys in their 20s who have time to play video games and watch sports without worrying about sexually satisfying a woman.

"Melissa Satta and I are no longer together. What I can say is that we had a beautiful, intense relationship and we have great respect for each other," Berrettini told his fans. "I won't go beyond this, I don't like sharing my private life too much. Nothing special happened."

"I must thank her for this period we lived together very intensely despite all the difficulties,' he added. 

It was a wild ride for Matteo and Melissa. In May, Melissa had to defend her sexual prowess when trolls started to claim she'd injured Matteo in the sack. "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 of Berrettini’s oblique injury that kept him out of the Tennis Internationals in Rome.

"Do I really have to answer to these people?" she added.

Years ago, when she was married to soccer stud Kevin Prince Boateng, Satta faced similar accusations of being too much of a sex machine. She was accused of giving the guy chronic groin lesions. 

At the OutKick Culture Department, it's our job to cut through the nonsense and get right to the point and this one seems simple: Matteo was tired of Melissa and he's returning the BMW to the rental agency. 

Let's face it, Matteo took Melissa for a test drive and now it's time to go hunting again. He knew she was a sex fanatic who would make things interesting, but at some point you've climbed the mountain and there are no more peaks to summit. 

Matteo had some sex – perhaps seven to ten times a week, which isn't exactly some earth-shattering total – and now it's time to move on. 

As for Satta, she's always had a thing for athletes and if, as a blogger I know anything about athletes, it's that they're always in the mood to take the BMW for a test drive.
