Matteo Berrettini of Rome, Italy has won the 2022 Queen’s Club Championships in London, England. On Sunday, Berrettini defeated Filip Krajinovic of Serbia 7-5, 6-4 to take the title. Berrettini was actually able to defend the Queen’s Club Championship. Last year he beat Cameron Norrie of Great Britain in the final, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3. 

Berrettini, has turned out to be a grass court specialist. He reached the 2021 Wimbledon final, before losing to Novak Djokovic of Serbia, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. You could make the argument that Berrettini was one of two grass court specialists to win an ATP 500 event on Sunday. The other was Hubert Hurkacz of Poland, the 2021 Wimbledon semifinalist, who beat world number one Daniil Medvedev of Russia, 6-1, 6-4 in the final of the Halle Open.
