Matteo Berrettini emerged, perhaps unexpectedly, as one of the major protagonists of the recent Roland Garros 2026. After several early exits in preparation tournaments, including Challenger events, the Italian reconnected with a large part of the tennis public through gritty and epic victories, five-set battles that went his way, and the fierceness and competitive spirit that brought back memories of the Matteo who reached a Grand Slam final.

Unfortunately, the adventure came to an early end: during a quarterfinal duel against Arnaldi, the Roman felt a serious discomfort in his psoas and couldn't continue beyond the second set. His withdrawal left a very bitter taste with the audience, posing a difficult (and necessary) question: were we facing another long-lasting injury that would once again reset Berrettini back to the starting line? Were we to prepare to see the Italian out of action for several months?

Berrettini reassures the public: aims to return at Wimbledon

It seems the response has been positive and the worst-case scenarios have been ruled out. That's at least what the Italian announced on his Instagram, in a post that served to review his experience in Paris, but also to address that question and dispel any catastrophic assumptions. Matteo has stated that he is not suffering from serious discomfort and has marked Wimbledon 2026 as his next major goal.

"I leave Paris with a smile on my face for the great matches I've played and because the tests I've undergone in the last few days have not revealed any serious muscle injury. I'm already working on my recovery with the goal of reaching Wimbledon in the best possible shape. Over these past two weeks, and especially after my withdrawal, I have felt an abundance of love and affection that once again made me feel fortunate and privileged. Thank you, always", the Italian concluded with very emotional words. Could he be one of the dark horses at the third Grand Slam of the year?
