Berrettini could join exclusive list with potential Wimbledon triumph

Sunday, 11 July 2021 at 16:00

Matteo Berrettini is currently facing off with Novak Djokovic in the final of Wimbledon but in the event that the Italian does claim victory, he could join an exclusive club.

This being those players who have won both Queen's and Wimbledon in the same year.

It has been previously discussed in terms of Boris Becker and his achievement of doing both on debut like Berrettini could but it is an even wider list of players.

John McEnroe heads it up and is only one of three players to do it twice with Pete Sampras and Andy Murray with the latter the latest to do it with wins in 2013 and 2016.

While Jimmy Connors, the aforementioned Boris Becker, Lleyton Hewitt and Rafael Nadal have all done it once during their careers.

Can he complete the feat at the All England club?
