LONDON (Reuters) – Eighth seed Matteo Berrettini, runner-up at last year’s Wimbledon, pulled out of the Championships on Tuesday after testing positive for COVID-19, he said on Instagram.
The 26-year-old Italian, who lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2021 final, became the second player to withdraw from this year’s grasscourt Grand Slam due to the coronavirus after Croatia’s Marin Cilic on Monday.
