2021 Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini has been struggling with all sorts of injuries for his entire career. Unfortunately, the Italian champion had to cut short his clay court season after struggling with an oblique injury.
Matteo did not appear to be fully fit for the grass season, and he badly crashed out in his opening match in Stuttgart at the hands of his dear friend Lorenzo Sonego. Later on, the Italian player declined to compete in any other tournament before Wimbledon in order to try to recover and have a good run at SW 19.
Nevertheless, Berrettini did not appear to be in his explosive form in a video posted on the Wimbledon social media account. His fans are concerned about his fitness. Here is the video.
