Matteo Berrettini, who was last year's runner-up at Wimbledon, is out of this year's tournament after testing positive for COVID-19.
An All England Club spokesperson did not respond to a question about what the level of concern is about COVID-19 at the event, but did say in an email that organizers have been working with the British public health agency and local authorities.
“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,” Berrettini wrote in his post, which included a black-and-white photo of him hitting a serve at Wimbledon.
Berrettini was supposed to play 44th-ranked Cristian Garín in the first round on Tuesday. Berrettini was replaced in the field by Elias Ymer, who lost in qualifying but now will take on Garín. The 26-year-old Berrettini, who relies on big serves and big forehands, won two tuneup tournaments on the surface this month, going 9-0 at Stuttgart, Germany, and Queen’s Club in London.
