Matteo Berrettini is close to appointing a new coach for the upcoming season and Italian media are reporting a familiar name will be taking over the reins from Vincenzo Santopadre.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the deal to hire Thomas Enqvist is as good as done. Only the official announcement is missing and could be coming very soon. Berrettini recently parted ways with his longtime coach Vincenzo Santopadre after 13 years together.
Berrettini penned an emotional message to his fans announcing Santopadre's departure after a forgettable year hampered by injuries. Under his countryman's tutelage, the 27-year-old reached a career-high ranking of World No. 6 and reached a Wimbledon final.
Replacing Santopadre, who has nurtured Berrettini through his teenage years, was going to require a sturdy and intelligent tennis mind. And that's why Berrettini has gone for the service of Enqvist, a former pro from Sweden who was ranked as high as No.

Reilly Opelka is no stranger to making big statements, and he's definitely not a fan of people trying to use a backdoor to gain the upper hand.
In a Q&a session on his Instagram account, Reilly Opelka was quizzed by a curious fan on the changes he would introduce to tennis besides abolishing doubles , and he responded by saying that he would ban the use of Adderall by players.
Adderall is considered a first-choice treatment drug for those suffering from Adhd (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Pressed to give a more elaborate reasoning for his answer considering that Adderall only helps to improve focus and concentration, Opelka justified his response by comparing it to the use of steroids helping players improve their physical strength.
"My comment applies to professional tennis in particular. But some players have a hard time building strength... should they be allowed to take steroids?"

Andrey Rublev lost at the 2023 Wimbledon to Novak Djokovic and quickly made a trip to Huelva in Spain to play some tennis there.
Rublev had a really solid return to tennis at the 2023 Wimbledon making his way to the quarter-final of the event. Throughout the event, the Russian spoke about his gratitude for being welcomed warmly after last year's ban. Unfortunately, he ran into a very solid Novak Djokovic and despite winning the opening set, the Russian couldn't do much after that.
The match was played on July 11th, and he quickly left London for sunnier places as he touched down in Huelva to take part in the 2023 Copa del Rey de Tenis. The city is located in the Cadiz Gulf, very close to the Portuguese border, and it's been hosting an exhibition event for many years.
Many great players have taken part in the event over the years, including Rafael Nadal,...

Rafael Nadal's career has gone on for over two decades now and the tennis landscape looked very different the last time he missed the Roland Garros.
Rafael Nadal won't play at the 2023 Roland Garros after announcing his decision to pull out a few days ago. The Spanish legend worked hard to get back in time but the hip injury proved too much to overcome. It will be the first time he won't play at the event in many years but he will be back next year if everything goes according to plan.
The last time Nadal didn't play at the event was back in 2004 when he was a teenager coming up. It was also the year when he won his maiden trophy and one year before he would win his maiden Roland Garros (2005).
The tennis landscape looked very different back then compared to right now. It's not a surprise...

The 2023 Houston Open is one of the first clay-court events in the Atp calendar and we already know the tournament's draw.
The tournament, which is often referred to as the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship will be played from April 3rd to 9th. Last year, Reilly Opelka triumphed in Houston, but he won't be able to defend his title in 2023 because of an injury that keeps him out of play.
The first-seeded player at the 2023 Houston Open, played at the River Oaks Country Club, is Frances Tiafoe. The top four seeded players have a bye in the first round and so the American will start against Facundo Bagnis or two-time champion Steve Johnson, who won the event in 2017 and 2018.
While Tiafoe can already scout his opponents, the second-seeded Tommy Paul has no clue who will await him in the second round as he'll play against one of the qualifiers.

Sofia (Bulgaria), Sep 28 (Ians) Lorenzo Sonego sent an early statement to the rest of the field at the Sofia Open on Wednesday, racing to his sixth consecutive straight-sets victory with a 6-3, 6-4 first round win against Bernabe Zapata Miralles at the indoor Atp 250 event.
Having charged to his third Atp Tour title last week without dropping a set in Metz, Sonego backed up that run with a stunning first-round serving performance against Zapata Miralles in Bulgaria.

Fresh off his "inspiring" visit to Africa with Unicef, David Beckham attended the Aegon Championships at the Queen's Club in London on Tuesday with his adorable son Romeo in tow. The pair was all smiles as they attentively took in the tennis match between Stan Warinka and Fernando Verdasco in the stands, and at one point, Romeo was seen adorably whispering something in David's ear. Just two days prior, the father-son duo were spotted at the venue hanging out with tennis pros Nick Kyrgios and Andy Murray. Romeo even got to practice his swing and hit a few balls with Andy before the tournament. Noticeably missing from the fun was the rest of the Beckham clan, though Victoria has been hard at work promoting her sunglasses line while Brooklyn has been improving his photography skills. Read on for more cute photos, then check out the family's sweetest moments through the years.

The BBC has revealed that only 10 people complained about Andy Murray's explicit language during his match at Wimbledon yesterday (July 3).
Murray was heard swearing at himself after going two sets down against Fernando Verdasco in his quarter-final.
Commentator Andrew Castle apologised to viewers after Murray shouted: "You f**king w**ker, what are you doing?"
The Daily Mail had claimed that Murray's "volley of obscenities" had led to many viewers "reacting with anger" over the incident.
However, The Guardian reports that only 10 people had actually complained about the live swearing to the BBC.
"Perhaps the Mail might try to find a new racket the next time it tries to stir up controversy," the Guardian diary reporter wrote.
Over 10 million people tuned in to see Murray's five-set comeback thriller yesterday afternoon.

Happy Birthday to tennis studmuffin Fernando Verdasco (above), who turns 28, and Frida, who's 66. We've done a couple of Abba top fives, so I want to give a special mention to Frida's solo classic "I Know There's Something Going On," which has the honor of being #10 on the Official Snicks Top 100 Of The 80's. Congrats, Frida! Jane Lynch Feels Bad For Brett Ratner. Just because you're called Little Monsters doesn't mean you should act that way. You can add NBC's Prime Suspect to the list of the season's cancellations. Like it or not, Chelsea Handler will be around awhile.

Kellan Lutz apparently is nervous about what comes across his mother's thought over his sexy Calvin Klein ads. Having nothing but praises for the brand's product at the Calvin Klein fashion show in New York City, the "Twilight Saga" actor told Us Magazine, "But now my nude a** is going to be all over billboards, we'll see what my mother thinks."
At the Sunday, February 14 event, the 24-year-old also revealed what makes it easier for him to strip down to his underwear. "You know I've done other fittings where you have to wear underwear and you're kind of uncomfortable because they look funny or it doesn't fit well. That's the difference with Calvin Klein. They fit great, they're snug and they hold everything in and you look good," he said.

The final picture of Kellan Lutz posing as Calvin Klein's new model has been revealed. The "Twilight" hunk stripped down to his brief, promoting the brand's new male underwear collection, X. The ad will be launched on March 1 and reportedly would be given a 3-D treatment.
Beside Lutz, three other guys are promoting the same collection; Mechad Brooks who starred as Eggs on "True Blood" season 2, Spanish tennis star Fernando Verdasco and Japanese footballer Hidetoshi Nakata. The black-and-white photographs were taken by Mikael Jansson and will be featured in magazines, commercials and billboards.
The concept of the ads are "bold, graphic and provocative", Bob Mazzoli, chief creative officer for Calvin Klein Underwear said. The executives reportedly modeled the new campaign after Mark Wahlberg's '90s ad which was also in black and white tone.
Kellan Lutz paved his way to Hollywood by being a model for Abercrombie & Fitch first.

The new ads promoting the brand's latest male underwear collection, X, have been unraveled, exposing the "Twilight Saga" hunk flaunting his ripped abs in provocative black and white shots as he strips down to his skivvy.
Talking about him following the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg and Djimon Hounsou in being featured in the brand's ads, the 24-year-old told People, "I started out modeling so this is the pinnacle." He went on saying, "What more can you do than be on a billboard for something that you grew up thinking was super sexy and classy? It's really prestigious and I love it."

"Twilight" saga hunk Kellan Lutz strips down for a new Calvin Klein mens' underwear collection called X.
The X campaign promises to be Calvin Klein's most digital endeavor.
Launching on March 1, it will feature behind-the-scenes videos (Ok, be still our hearts), interviews with the models and 3D-effect versions of the ads.
We're not sure the Dish Rag is ready for 3D crotch shots. Do we have to wear those uncomfortable glasses?
Also available in X 3D, "True Blood" star Mehcad Brooks, Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco and Japanese athlete Hidetoshi Nakata.
Unfortunately, Taylor Lautner was still too young to do this ad campaign. Darn it.
But check out our Taylor Lautner Birthday Countdown. Light the birthday candles. It's almost here!
