Matteo Berrettini had an unbelievable week in London where he won his first ATP 500 trophy. The Italian played great tennis all week long and defeated Cameron Norrie 2-1 in the final to win the event. He became the first player since Boris Becker to win the event on his debut. He said:

"[It was an] unbelievable week. If I think about [Boris'] name and my name, it’s crazy. I was dreaming about playing this tournament. I was watching [it] when I was a kid and now I had the chance to lift the trophy, so it’s a dream come true."

For Berrettini, this was a 5th career trophy but none of the previous four were ATP 500 events. Asked to fully recap all of it he said:

"It was definitely a really good week. When you win a tournament, it means that you're playing good. But I think during the tournament, after every match I was increasing my level. I think today I had to play my best tennis, especially in the important points, to win... I'm really happy with my performance overall."
