Tennis Stars Matteo Berrettini & Taylor Fritz Celebrate Acapulco's White Party

Matteo Berrettini takes pictures with fans during the White Party to kick off the Mexican Open tennis tournament in Acapulco, Mexico on Sunday (February 26).

The 26-year-old Italian tennis player stars in the Netflix docu-series Break Point alongside 25-year-old Californian tennis star Taylor Fritz, who also stars in the show and was also spotted at the party with girlfriend Morgan Riddle.

The tournament, aka Abierto Mexicano de Tenis, celebrated 30 years of tennis history as it was introduced on the ATP Tour (Association of Tennis Professionals) in 1993, and began on the WTA Tour (Women’s Tennis Association) in 2001.

Tennis players also in attendance were rising Denmark’s Holger Rune (with French coach Patrick Mouratoglou), USA’s Ben Shelton, Mackenzie Davis, and Brandon Nakashima, Slovakia’s Alex Molcan, and Mexico’s Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez.

Also pictured in the gallery are the aforementioned tennis players earlier in the day during a photo call. Norway’s Casper Ruud, USA’s Frances Tiafoe, and Canada’s Denis Shapavalov were also present.

Break Point is set to return service — pun intended — June 2023 exclusively on Netflix.
