Exes Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanović had an unexpectedly uncomfortable run-in at an exclusive US Open cocktail party held at the Park Lane Hotel, which was hosted by Dobel Tequila. The incident, which took place over the weekend, was filled with tension and awkwardness, leaving both parties scrambling to avoid each other. This encounter came as a surprise to both players, as they were unaware that they would be staying at the same luxury hotel.
According to a source, the tennis pros, whose breakup was extensively featured in the Netflix docuseries “Break Point,” hadn’t seen each other since their bitter split in February 2022. As a result, there was a great deal of drama at the cocktail party. They exchanged dirty looks throughout the evening, and arrangements had to be made to ensure they were placed on opposite sides of the hotel. Even Berrettini’s parents, who were also in attendance, received glares from Tomljanović.
The tension at the party became so palpable that Berrettini eventually decided to leave. The awkwardness and discomfort were reportedly overwhelming. Witnesses described the atmosphere as highly charged, with both exes making a conscious effort to avoid each other. Whenever one of them tried to take a photo, the other would walk away, possibly in an attempt to prevent any further unpleasant encounters or conflicts.
To make matters worse, both Berrettini and Tomljanović were completely blindsided by the news that they would be staying at the same hotel. It appears that the organizers of the event failed to inform either party of the other’s presence, leading to an unexpectedly uncomfortable situation. It is unclear whether this lack of communication was intentional or accidental.
Representatives for Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanović have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment on the incident. It remains to be seen how the exes will handle future encounters, given the charged nature of their breakup and the lingering tension between them. This unexpected reunion serves as a reminder that relationships, even those between professional athletes, can have their fair share of highs and lows.
Since their split after the 2022 Australian Open, Berrettini has found love again with Italian TV presenter Melissa Satta. However, Satta was not present at the intimate party where the awkward encounter took place. It is unclear how these recent events will impact Berrettini and Tomljanović’s ability to move on from their past relationship and find happiness in their respective personal lives and careers.
The unexpected reunion of Matteo Berrettini and Ajla Tomljanović at the US Open cocktail party was undoubtedly an uncomfortable and tense experience for both parties involved. With no immediate response from their representatives, it remains to be seen how they will navigate future encounters and move forward from their past relationship.
