Rome player makes history at top level of international tennis.
Matteo Berrettini has become the first Italian to reach the men's singles finals at Wimbledon after beating Poland's Herbert Hurkacz 6-3, 6-0, 6-7, 6-4 on Friday.

Grande Matteo #Berrettini! Complimenti per la finale di #Wimbledon conquistata per la prima volta da un tennista italiano. Roma è orgogliosa di te. Tutta l’Italia domenica tiferà per te!
