When he traveled to Melbourne in 2024, there were expectations for his rehabilitation even if he had originally withdrawn from the Brisbane International. Many assumed he wouldn\u2019t make such a long travel just to pull out of the first-round match, so they expected him to be ready.<\/p>\n<p>In line with Rafael Nadal, Berrettini has withdrawn from the competition due to a right foot injury, according to the official announcement from the event organizers.<\/p>\n<p>With an eye on a quick return to action, the Italian is now concentrating on his recovery. His favorite part of the season is still a long way off, so he has plenty of time to heal before the grass-court phase begins.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian is replaced in the main draw by the lucky loser Zizou Bergs, which puts Tsitsipas in a more manageable matchup. The Greek player has also struggled with injury since the start of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<p>After Coco Gauff vs. Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, this match will be the second event of the day session on Day 2 at the Rod Laver Arena.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FotoJet-2024-01-14T134204.190-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Young gun Fruhvirtova guns down Bogdan, makes Slam history\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Young gun Fruhvirtova guns down Bogdan, makes Slam history<\/h5>\n<p>Brenda Fruhvirtova defeats Ana Bogdan in first round.
