Berrettini has not competed since last year’s US Open, where he retired from his second-round match due to an ankle injury. He went 12-11 in the 2023 season.

Having faced a setback with a tear in an oblique muscle that kept him out of action for a few weeks in 2023, the 27-year-old has slipped to the 125th position in the men’s rankings.
