Matteo Berrettini, 25 years old and number 9 in the world ranking, and Cameron Norrie, 22 and located in position 41 of the circuit, beat their rivals in straight sets to get into the final of the The Queen’s ATP 500, a tournament in which they will seek their fifth and first title, respectively.
The Roman defeated the Australian Alex De Miñaur 6-4 and 6-4, 22 years old and 22nd racket on the planet, in the first round and qualified for his sixth definition, second on this surface, of which he won four (three on brick dust and one on grass).
For its part, the southpaw born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and based in London, beat Canadian Denis Shapovalov 7-5 and 6-3, 22 years old, 14 in the world and who had imposed early on the American Frances Tiafoe in the meeting postponed due to a power cut, and will seek to break his curse in decisive instances: he lost one in 2019 (in Auckland, against Tennys Sandgren) and two this year (in Lyon, against Stefanos Tsitsipas, and in Estoril, against Albert Ramos-Viñolas).
The finalists do not have previous meetings throughout their careers, so it will be the first meeting between the Italian and the British.
