Over the past three months, as the tennis tour travelled through Europe and the clay season endured, one men’s contender was missing throughout. Matteo Berrettini underwent surgery on a finger, forcing him to spend his days on the sidelines as the rest of the tour rolled on.
Coming back from injury and quickly regaining the form of old can be one of the biggest challenges a tennis player faces but on his return on his favourite surface, Berrettini has made it look easy. He has marked himself as a top Wimbledon contender once more. On Sunday afternoon Berrettini won the cinch Championships for the second year running, defeating the unseeded Filip Krajinovic 7-5, 6-4 in the final.
