Paris: Matteo Berrettini’s rollercoaster ride with injuries continues. The Italian tennis star has pulled out of the 2024 French Open, citing a lingering fitness issue that has dashed his hopes of competing at Roland Garros.

The 29-year-old made the difficult announcement via Instagram on Thursday, just days before the clay-court Grand Slam begins in Paris.

“Ciao everyone,” Berrettini wrote beneath a photo of himself, “I unfortunately had to make the very difficult decision to withdraw from Roland Garros. I just ran out of time to feel 100% ready to compete at the level that is needed.”

His withdrawal marks another chapter in a frustrating period of injury setbacks that have hindered his momentum on tour. IANS
