The Italian Matteo Berrettini announced this Tuesday will not compete in the Rome Tennis Masters 1,000 for the third year in a row, not one hundred percent physically.
“I just want to say that I will not be able to play tomorrow. I am not ready to give my best version yet. I tried everything because this tournament is very special for me. “I have to put my heart aside, use my brain a little more, think about what is most important to me, which is my health and not get injured again so I won’t be far from the track for months,” he said at a press conference .
“It is with great sadness that I have to retire. I am only thinking about this tournament for 2025. I am very sad again about my retirement,” he added.
The Italian tennis player cannot return to his best version, the one that led him to play in the Wimbledon final in 2021.
