Berrettini stop due to injury: Vienna skips, goodbye Finals. And Davis …

Forfeit by Matteo Berrettini in Vienna and at this point the Roman not only says goodbye to the Finals in Turin but also throws some clouds on what will be the rest of 2022. Appointment with Davis in the first place. The blue, who yesterday lost the final of the Naples tournament against Lorenzo Musetti, today underwent tests on his left foot, which was aching in the last few days, which confirmed a payment but (at least that) excluded fractures. There is still no definitive diagnosis, that can be done later once the liquid has disappeared.

Berrettini himself confirmed the injury on social media and at the same time the forfeit in Vienna. In the Instagram post, in addition to reiterating the compliments to Musetti for the victory, he still left a door open for this 2022, saying that he will try to play in Paris-Bercy. No mention of Davis but it is clear that the main concern of all fans, and certainly also of him, is this. The appointment in Malaga, at the end of November, for the Final Eight, is one not to be missed and that can go down in history. With Sinner and Musetti, Italy would still have a couple of singles at the height, but the team needs Matteo’s grit, character, strength and power, to be able to compete to the maximum.

The one on the left foot is unfortunately only the latest in a unfortunate series of physical troubles that occurred to the former Italian top 10 in this 2022: from abdominal pain to the operation in the hand, at Covid in Wimbledon where he was certainly among the favorites, a endless series of misfortunes that did not prevent Matteo from winning two tournaments (Stuttgart and Queen’s) and playing a quarter-final (in New York) and a semi-final slam (in Melbourne). At the press conference, Berrettini said yesterday that he has no intention of giving up on this kind of thing, even if this year he has had the desire to stop several times, so much was the discomfort and pain. Certainly the Roman will have to surrender as regards the Finals in Turin, already almost impossible after the defeat in Naples, now unattainable after the forfeit in Vienna. There will be time to make up for it.
