Kitzbühel final LIVE: Gaston against Berrettini
Matteo Berrettini has won the ATP 250 tennis tournament in Kitzbühel for the first time. The 28-year-old Italian beat Frenchman Hugo Gaston 7-5, 6-3 in the final on Saturday after 1:21 hours and triumphed without dropping a set.
Berrettini, currently still ranked 50th in the world, was delighted with the prize money of 88,125 euros and 250 points. The 23-year-old Gaston also lost his second final on the tour.
Berrettini's "crazy two weeks"
"I'm so happy and so tired. It's been a crazy two weeks," said Berrettini, who also won the tournament in Gstaad on clay last week. The former world no. 6, who suffered an ankle injury at the US Open 2023 and then had to take a longer break, has now won ten matches in a row without dropping a set. "It was a really tough match. I fought my way through it," added Berrettini after his 10th ATP tournament win, his third this year.
