Before the French Open at the end of May, missing three big tournaments like this will not help Berrettini at all. Especially, the Rome Masters or the Italian Open (scheduled on 2nd May) which is his home event.
However, he is looking at the big picture, as the Italian is planning to make a long run in his career. Right now, he is on the timeline to make a comeback at the French Open. However, his form will be a concern as he will not have enough matches under his belt on the red soil to go for a championship run at Roland Garros. The French Open starts on the 22nd May.
