Berrettini latest blow to Italy's Davis Cup hopes after withdrawal confirmed

Matteo Berrettini pulls out of the Davis Cup Finals diminishing Italy's hopes for the competition leaving Musetti as the top player playing.

Italy has a really strong team with players like Berrettini, Sinner, and Musetti and doubles pairing Fognini & Bolelli. It's a team that can fight for the trophy but unfortunately, Sinner pulled out some time ago due to an injury and Berrettini did now as well.

Matteo suffered a foot injury in Naples and he wasn't able to recover in time, announcing it yesterday. He wrote on Instagram:

"Sadly I have lost my recovery race to be ready in time for the Davis Cup Finals. The medical experts have advised that I am still not able to compete at my highest level following the foot injury l suffered in Naples. There is no greater honour than representing Italy, so the news is very hard to take. I will still travel to Malaga with the team to support in anyway I can."
