After the tennis grandees Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams have already decided against the fight for gold, Italy’s hope for a medal Matteo Berrettini has to give up. After reaching the final at Wimbledon, where he was finally defeated by Novak Djokovic in four sets, the stroke of fate follows. As can be heard from several reports, the injury should come from the grass tournament of the past few weeks.
