Terrifying injury to Berrettini, who left in a wheelchair

Matteo Berrettini tried to slide to reach the ball sent by Arthur Rinderknecht. This is one of the skills that tennis players develop to glide across the hard court as if it were clay, not a rough surface.

It has its dangers, as verified by the Italian, whose screams echoed through a Track 5 silence. Those present remained cold as they watched Berrettini’s right ankle completely bend. He went to the ground. Stretching out, he groaned in pain.

Sanitary measures were immediately mobilized to help the transalpine. Some ball boys tried to hide him with umbrellas. It looks bad for a player who continues to struggle with complex injuries of all kinds: from knee problems to a wrist or a torn stomach.

Since he is a Wimbledon 2021 finalist, he has revealed himself as a player with a bright future. Since then, fate is no longer his. At 27, he was 36th in the world, having lost his top-10 status, due to continued physical difficulties.

Its size doesn’t help. His complexion is strong. He officially measures 1.96 meters and weighs 95 kilograms.

The shocking image is reminiscent of the German’s fall and serious ankle injury Alexander Zverev in the view of Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of Roland Garros 2021. It was difficult for him to undergo surgery and many months of sick leave and recovery.

Zverev returned to the field on crutches to say his goodbyes. Berrettini f.It helped him leave the track on his own feet. The wheelchair waited a few meters away, out of general view of the fans. There he sat down to go back to the changing rooms. Beat by 4-6, 3-5 and set the point for his rival.
