16:30 CET - Matteo Berrettini (27) has been one of the best players in the world in the last few grass-court seasons, but lacking in fitness, he hasn't started this one well, losing 6-1, 6-2 to compatriot Lorenzo Sonego (28) in Stuttgart. The Italian was a long, long way from his best on his return from injury and left the court in tears, clearly concerned by his current condition.
