LONDON
A perfect performance and Matteo Berrettini flies to the Queen’s final. On the grass of the English club, the 25-year-old Roman, no.9 in the ranking and first seed, fresh from the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, defeated the Australian Alex De Minaur, no.22 6-4 6-4. In the final the British Cameron Norrie awaits him who beat the Canadian Denis Shapovalov 7-5 6-3.
For the number one in Italian tennis it will be the third final of the season (he won the one in Budapest), the seventh in his career. With a super serve and solidity from the bottom, Berrettini immediately showed the difference with the 22-year-old from Sydney, who was forced to save break points (two) already in the third game but in the fifth the feat was not successful and the blue stretched to 4-2 and then secured the first set (6-4) at the second set-point. At the start of the second half De Minaur tried to be more aggressive, but Berrettini raised the pace and closed the semifinal at the second match point. –
