- Berrettini told journalist Ben Rothenberg his brother received threatening texts at Roland-Garros before reporting them to the Association of Tennis Professionals, including messages stating, "well kill your family."

- Berrettini's comments followed the USTA's recently announced partnership with the online prediction market Kalshi. The WTA and World Tennis stated further progress requires collective action from social media companies, law enforcement, and the gambling industry.
