No loss can compare to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros 2023. The fourteen-time champion in Paris will make a point and separate his career trying to rebuild his body and allow him to face 2024 with guarantees of competitiveness and hang the racket on good condition.
Nor will it be Pablo Carreno in the French capital, also the victim of a long injury, in his elbow case. Another one that has been suffering for a few weeks is the Italian Matteo Berrettini, who had to retire midway through the Monte Carlo tournament due to discomfort in the oblique muscles.
MRI revealed a grade 2 tear in the internal oblique abdominal muscle. Madrid is gone, the hope of competing with his native Rome is also gone.
Until he threw the towel on the clay. “Making good progress with rehabilitation and looking forward to competing again. I won’t be ready in time for Paris, so my return will be on grass, at the Stuttgart tournament,” he said on social media.
27 years old and world number 20, physical problems come to their former top-10, Wimbledon 2021 finalist, Australian Open 2022 semifinalist, last season where he was the Stuttgart and Queen’s grass champion, his most important element fruitful and where it will be attached to his return.
Berrettini is a quarterfinalist at Roland Garros 2021, a tournament he also missed last year due to another injury.
