Matteo Berrettini has announced he is suffering from chronic hip pain and will miss upcoming tournaments. The Italian player made the revelation after his third-round loss at Wimbledon.
Berrettini confirmed the diagnosis in an Instagram story on July 7. He said he will skip the events in Gstaad and Kitzbühel to rest and prepare for the US Open.
"After discussions with my doctor and team, I’ve been diagnosed with chronic hip pain and advised the best course of action is to withdraw and rest in order to be ready for the US swing," Berrettini wrote.
The issue also affected him during the French Open, where he retired in the quarterfinals against Matteo Arnaldi. Berrettini had beaten Stan Wawrinka and Arthur Fils at Wimbledon before losing to Grigor Dimitrov in five sets.
