There is no peace for Matteo Berrettini, who had to withdraw from the Australian Open with a right foot injury. The Italian player has been struggling with all sorts of injuries in the last couple of years. He surprised his fans after traveling to Australia hoping to compete in the first major of the year. He was meant to face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round in what would have been the match of the day. Unfortunately, that will not happen, and Matteo will be replaced in the main draw by lucky loser Zizou Bergs.
