Vincenzo Santopadre
COACH
Former World No. 103 was one of Italy’s top tennis players before he became a professional coach. His best wins were both at the Rome Masters, where he upset two Top 10 players, Magnus Norman (2001) and Karol Kucera (1998). Some of the best-known players he has beaten include Marat Safin and Gustavo Kuerten. Santopadre played Davis Cup in 2000 and 2001, and won a total of 5 ATP Challenger tournaments. Prior to coaching the young Berrettini, Santopadre coached Flavio Cipolla (World No. 70) and Nastassja Burnett (World No. 121). He is one of the head coaches of the Rome Tennis Academy.
Berrettini and Santopadre have a few things in common. Both Rome natives, the two have caused their fair loads of surprises on the court, with Santopadre beating half of the Top 10 players he has faced off. But the most important thing they have in common is their passion for tennis. The two Italians have developed a strong bond over the years and are working together to reach new heights.

Umberto Rianna, from Italy, is the long-time coach of Matteo Berrettini. Prior to coaching Berrettini, Rianna worked with Italian player Potito Starace, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 27. He was also in charge of the Italian Tennis Federation’s junior division.
Along with fellow Italian coach Vincenzo Santopadre, Umberto Rianna is a fundamental part of Berrettini’s team. The team’s relationship is more than strictly professional: they have become family, as they have been working together since Matteo’s teenage years.
