Berrettini Cleared of Major Damage and Begins Rehab but Faces Wimbledon Qualifying

Scans found no significant muscle injury, keeping him on course for Wimbledon while he follows a targeted rehab plan.

Overview

  • Berrettini retired from his French Open quarterfinal against Matteo Arnaldi while trailing 5-7, 2-5 because of a hip issue.
  • He posted that scans showed no significant muscle damage and that he has already started rehabilitation aimed at arriving at Wimbledon in strong form.
  • Because the Wimbledon entry cut-off used an earlier ranking, Berrettini was 107 at that deadline and is currently listed as the third alternate for the main draw.
  • Being the third alternate means he will probably have to play qualifying unless enough players withdraw or his entry status changes.
  • Berrettini is a former 2021 Wimbledon finalist with 10 ATP singles titles, and his recovery and possible qualifying run will shape his grass-court season and ranking opportunity.
