Matteo Berrettini pulls out of French Open due to injury

Matteo Berrettini has pulled out of the French Open due to an unspecified injury and will be replaced in the main draw by a lucky loser, organisers said on Thursday.

The No. 28-ranked Italian retired against Casper Ruud in the third round of the Italian Open last week.

Two weeks before, he withdrew from his third-round match against Jack Draper in Madrid due to an abdominal injury.

Berrettini was the 2021 Wimbledon runner-up but has been held back by niggling injuries since then.

Last year, he withdrew from the Australian Open on the eve of the tournament with a right foot injury. Two years ago, he withdrew from the Italian Open to recover from a stomach muscle tear.

The big-serving Berrettini also reached the 2019 U.S. Open semifinal and has 10 career titles.

Roland-Garros begins on Sunday at the clay-court Grand Slam.
