No.6 seed Matteo Berrettini makes his clay court return on Tuesday after the French Open in May, taking on the reigning Swiss Open champion Pedro Cachin of Argentina in the first round of men’s singles competition at Gstaad. Berrettini, who decided to skip the tournaments at Roland Garros for a third straight year, is in for a testy first round against the defending champ. The Italian only reached the second round of the Wimbledon Open this year, giving his highly-ranked compatriot Jannik Sinner everything he could handle 7-6(3) 7-6(4) 2-6 7-6(4). The highlight of Berrettini’s 2024 campaign is his title run at Grand Prix Hassan II, marking the Italian his 8th career singles hardware in the ATP Tour. Meanwhile, Cachin is having a rough 2024 campaign, a year after winning his first ATP title at Gstaad. After dropping his first qualification match at Wimbledon, the Argentine participated in the Braunschweig Challenger, a clay court tournament at the ITF Challenger level. He reached the semifinal round of that tourney, falling to Botic Van De Zandschulp of Netherlands in three sets, 6-2 6-7(5) 6-3.
