Berrettini looking to join a fairly impressive list of players who have won Queen's & Wimbledon in the same year: John McEnroe (1981, '84) Jimmy Connors ('82) Boris Becker ('85) Pete Sampras ('95, '99) Lleyton Hewitt (2002) Rafael Nadal (2008) Andy Murray (2013, '16)

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?

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
