the italian tennis player Matteo Berrettini (11th in the ATP) tested positive for coronavirus, so he will not be able to play against the national Cristian Garin (43rd) in the match scheduled for this Tuesday in the first round of Wimbledon.
According to the organization, the European player, current runner-up in the London tournament, tested positive for covid, so he is automatically ruled out to play.
Berrettini was coming off a perfect campaign on grass with a record of 9-0 and appeared as a candidate for the title.
His place in the picture was taken by the Swedish Elias Ymer (137th), who benefited as a lucky loser after losing in the last qualifying round.
Garin and Ymer do not register previous duels, and the winner will face the winner of the duel between the Swiss Marc-Andrea Huesler (105th) and Frenchman Hugo Grenier (141st).
