MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) (ITALPRESS) – No Australian Open for Matteo Berrettini. The 29-year-old Roman tennis player, semi-finalist in 2022 and who should have debuted with Alex De Minaur, will not be at the start of the first Slam of the season. “I’m really sorry to have to withdraw from the tournament – it’s Berrettini’s message in a post reported by Australian Open social accounts – I’ve always liked being here, playing and listening to your incredible support. Thank you for your fantastic organization and I hope to see you all very soon.”.
The former number 6 of the world, which in recent days had taken part in the Kooyong Classic in view of the Australian Slam, has canceled in extremis from the main draw after canceling the planned press conference on the occasion of the media day. The first doubts began on Friday, when Berrettini raised a white flag after a match against the young Norwegian Nicolai Budkov Kjaer at Red Bull Bassline, one of the side events in the Australian Open Opening Week, such as the One Point Slam. The Roman tennis player, protagonist of the triumph of Italy in the Davis Cup in November, will jump his sixth Slam in the last four years.
