LONDON : Former Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini recovered from a slow start to his rain-affected tournament opener against fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego to complete a 6-7(5) 6-3 7-6(7) 6-3 victory on Thursday.
For a player who not so long ago was consistently making the second week at the Grand Slams, including a stretch of five consecutive major quarterfinal appearances, limiting expectations and venturing into the unknown can feel like alien concepts.
Former winner Andy Murray will play Ryan Peniston in an all-British affair in the first round of the men's singles at Wimbledon after the draw was conducted on Friday morning. The blockbuster tie of the round sees fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas play former US Open champion Dominic Thiem. The winner of that tie will face the winner of Murray's game.
LONDON: Carlos Alcaraz reached his first quarterfinal on grass as the world No. 2 crushed Jiri Lehecka in the Wimbledon warmup event at Queen’s Club on Thursday.
For Nick Kyrgios, Matteo Berrettini and Milos Raonic, Wimbledon has been the closest they have got to winning a Grand Slam singles title. Kyrgios made the final last summer, losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets. Berrettini was beaten by the same opponent, and over the same number of sets, the previous year.
Defending champion Matteo Berrettini has withdrawn from Queen's with an abdominal injury. Berrettini would have been going for a hat-trick of titles at the West London event after also triumphing in 2021, but has suffered an injury-pockmarked 2023, and appears to have a problem in a similar area to the complaint that kept him out of the recent clay-court season. Ad Berrettini returned to action at the Stuttgart Open earlier this month, but lost heavily in his first match against fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego, and looked to be in tears as he left the court.
Two-time defending champion Matteo Berrettini has pulled out of the Queen's Club Championships, the world number 21 said.
Andy Murray will face Australia’s world No. 18 and seventh seed Alex de Minaur in the first round of the Queen's Club Championships. The Brit has lost all three of his matches against De Minaur – the last of which was a 6-1 6-3 humbling at the Monte Carlo Masters earlier this year — but should the Brit prevail, he could face Diego Schwartzman in round two and Taylor Fritz at the quarter-final stage.
