After careful consideration, Berrettini decided against playing Miami. Matteo and his team agreed that undergoing a surgical procedure on his troublesome right hand was the best option. “My team and I have been speaking to medical experts since my withdrawal from Miami with a right-hand injury.
Following multiple scans and assessments we decided a minor operation was the best solution to ensure a full and quick recovery. Earlier today I had the operation and I’m happy to report it went extremely well. My doctor and team are already discussing plans for me to get back on-court.
Addressing his fans, he said, “Thanks very much for all the support. My recovery process is on track and I look forward to seeing you on-court soon.”
