Matteo Berrettini nightmare: new forfeit and horror ranking.

Matteo Berrettini after the Stuttgart knockout with Sonego has decided that he will not show up at Queen’s

Red alert for Matteo Berrettini. The Roman tennis player has had to forfeit the Queen’s tournament in London, an appetizer for Wimbledon: the Italian athlete, who lost badly to Lorenzo Sonego in Stuttgart a week ago, has decided not to defend the title he has held for two years.

Berrettini’s name does not appear on the entry list of the famous British tournament: the player probably still does not feel ready after the knockout with Sonego, or has suffered a new physical stop, and has decided to postpone his return to the court. A statement is expected in the coming hours.

The withdrawal will sink Berrettini in the Atp rankings: he is currently already out of the Top 30 after a first-round defeat in Stuttgart. The player will not be included among the seeded players at Wimbledon and risks having to play immediately in the early rounds against the big boys.
