The World No. 6 tennis player Matteo Berrettini announced via his personal Instagram that he underwent a right hand operation on Tuesday.
The Italian withdrew from the Miami Open last week ahead of his Round of 64 match. It was unclear at the time why Berrettini left the tournament, but he admits now it is because of the right hand injury.
As a right handed player, this injury made it difficult for Berrettini to play until operated on. Berrettini said he and his team spoke with medical experts and underwent various scans and assessments to figure out the next step to recovery. That’s when the operation was decided upon.
