Matteo Berrettini, last year's men's finalist, has withdrawn from Wimbledon after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Italian, one of the favorites for the men's singles title, said he was "heartbroken."
"I have had flu symptoms and been isolating the last few days. Despite symptoms not being severe, I decided it was important to take another test this morning to protect the health and safety of my fellow competitors and everyone else involved in the tournament," the 26-year-old wrote on Instagram.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
