Roger Federer has withdrawn from the French Open ahead of his scheduled fourth-round match against Matteo Berrettini on Monday. The 20-time Grand Slam champion said in a statement: “After discussions with my team, I’ve decided I will need to pull out of Roland Garros today. Tournament director Guy Forget said: “The Roland Garros tournament is sorry about the withdrawal of Roger Federer, who put up an incredible fight last night. “We were all delighted to see Roger back in Paris, where he played three high-level matches. Berrettini will move through to his first French Open quarter-final, where he will play either Novak Djokovic or Lorenzo Musetti.
