Wimbledon coughs after the positive Covid tests of Marin Cilic and Matteo Berrettini

We thought he was chased out of the debates, excluded from the discussions around a rectangle of land or a piece of grass. But the Covid-19 has made its return between the lines. With its unhealthy round mouth and its antennae bristling like anguish, the malignant virus shook Wimbledon. In two days, the London Major lost two figures of the All England Club: the Croatian Marin Cilic, finalist in 2017, and the Italian Matteo Berrettini, finalist of the last edition. Both tested positive for Covid, they left the lower part of the table, leaving Rafael Nadal with a course cleared of two big pitfalls. Three even with the exit from the road a few hours later of Félix Auger-Aliassime, beaten by Maxime Cressy.
