Matteo Berrettini will return to the field at the ATP 250 tournament in Marrakech, which will be staged on the red clay of the Moroccan location from 1 to 7 April. The Italian tennis player, fresh from the final lost at the Challenger in Phoenix and the defeat in the first round of the Masters 1000 in Miami against Andy Murray, will participate in the event by virtue of the protected ranking (number 74). The Roman is taking advantage of this benefit after the six months of competitive inactivity after retiring from the 2023 US Open and is trying to move up the rankings: the Wimbledon 2021 finalist currently occupies the 133rd place in the ATP rankings (he could still lose a few positions over the weekend, it will depend on the results of the various Challengers).
Who will be Matteo Berrettini’s opponents in Marrakech? While waiting to know the scoreboard, let’s take a look at the best tennis players registered for the event. The number 1 seed will be the Serbian Laslo Djere (number 35 in the world), the Austrian should be taken into consideration Sebastian Ofner (number 40) and the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo (number 44, worried Grigor Dimitov in Miami). The British Daniel Evans (number 43) should always be taken with a pinch of salt, the always mangy Kazakh should not be underestimated Alexander Shevchenko (number 58) and the Argentine Facundo Diaz Acosta (number 55).
We will also see it in action Lorenzo Sonego (number 53, collapsed in the first round in Miami and just parted ways with his coach) e Flavio Cobolli (number 63). The entry list also includes, among others, the Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena, the Russian Pavel Kotov, the Swiss Stan Wawrinka, the French Arthur Rinderknech and Luca Van Assche.
