Matteo Berrettini suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of Britain’s Andy Murray in the opening round of the Miami Open 2024 on Wednesday, March 20.Berrettini’s to the ATP Tour after the US Open 2023 injury didn’t start on an ideal note as he lost to Murray despite taking the opening set.

He fought hard in the following two sets, even overcoming dizziness, but failed to cross the line before the Brit did.

The match lasted for two hours and 47 minutes with Murray eventually prevailing 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and setting up a second-round meeting with Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

Berrettini didn’t get the win on Wednesday, but received a hilarious offer from a female fan who rooted for him from the stands. The fan, who had come to the Miami Gardens with her boyfriend, was spotted by the cameras holding a placard that read:

“Berrettini, trade my boyfriend for your racket”

The boyfriend was understandably against the exchange as he showed his placard requesting Matteo Berrettini to deny the proposal.

“No please,” his message read.

The scenario induced a chuckle from one of the announcers, who in, the video, could be heard saying:

“It’s, uh, quite an offer I’d think. It might be too high for Matteo to have any notice.”
