Matteo Berrettini Drops a Bombshell: The Untold Truth About His Health Revealed After He…

 

He had said it after his victory in the first round: Matteo Berrettini would reveal something at the end of his journey at the US Open. And his journey stopped in the second round. The tennis player is still out of the top seeds and this had a significant impact on the draw, given that the Italian was defeated by Taylor Fritz in the second round.

In the post match, Berrettini shared his feelings about the match, analyzing what went wrong and revealing what he had suffered before New York: a phlebitis.

“I’m fine now but it was a shame that I couldn’t train and that I couldn’t play other tournaments. I had phlebitis in a vein in my calf, it was missing from the list! I honestly didn’t even know what it was, it got hard and I thought it was the muscle. Now it’s getting better, it didn’t bother me today but it bothered my preparation.

Taylor played a crazy match and was simply better than me. I’d like to watch the match again but I don’t remember two consecutive unforced errors from him, for me in these conditions he deserves a better ranking than the one he has, Taylor is a tennis player to always avoid,” he said.

Matteo has always been unlucky with injuries and in the post match he revealed yet another injury, a joke that affected his tournament, but it should be emphasized that the American was already ahead 3-0 in head-to-head matches, and also for this reason the challenge didn’t promise well: Matteo surrendered in three sets, defeated quite clearly.

Regarding the Davis Cup, Berrettini added: “The first call-ups have been made but the captain told us to stay alert and so we are all waiting. In any case, I am registered for all the tournaments in China and Tokyo, I want to play and I really want to play. Of course, if I were to be called up for the Davis I would be very happy to represent Italy.”title and aim for a historic 25th Slam..
