PARIS (AP) — Matteo Berrettini has pulled out of the French Open due to an unspecfied injury and will be replaced in the main draw by a lucky loser, organizers said on Thursday. Play at Roland-Garros begins on Sunday at the clay-court Grand Slam. The No. 28-ranked Italian retired against Casper Ruud in the third round of the Italian Open last week. Two weeks before, he withdrew from his third-round match against Jack Draper in Madrid due to an abdominal injury. Berrettini was the 2021 Wimbledon runner-up but has been held back by niggling injuries since then. Last year, he withdrew from the Australian Open on the eve of the tournament witha right foot injury. Two years ago, he withdrew from the Italian Open to recover from a stomach muscle tear. The big-serving Berrettini also reached the 2019 U.S. Open semifinal and has 10 career titles. ___ AP tennis:https://apnews.com/hub/tennis
