Berrettini battu par Popyrin sur fond de contestation arbitrale aux Internationaux d'Italie

Matteo Berrettini s'est incliné face à Alexei Popyrin au premier tour des Internationaux d'Italie après un let contesté concernant un anti-vibrateur. L'Italien, soutenu par le public local au Foro Italico, a perdu le match 6-2, 6-3. L'incident a suscité les huées de la foule et a laissé Berrettini visiblement frustré.

La controverse est survenue lors du premier jeu du deuxième set. Berrettini retournait le service lorsque l'anti-vibrateur de Popyrin s'est détaché de sa raquette pour glisser sur le court. L'arbitre de chaise, Aurelie Tourte, a déclaré un let, annulant ce qui aurait été une balle de break pour l'Italien. Berrettini s'est dirigé vers la chaise et a protesté, déclarant : « Cela fait partie de la raquette, donc ce n'est jamais un let. » Tourte a répondu qu'elle avait vu l'objet bouger et qu'elle se devait de l'appliquer selon le règlement.
