Hurkacz beats Kyrgios in Halle | Berrettini breezes into Queen's final

Hubert Hurkacz reached the Halle Open final after beating Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) in the semi-finals on Saturday.

The big-serving Polish player hit 27 aces against 30 for Kyrgios, who lost despite holding in every one of his service games.

Hurkacz's win sets up a clash with top-ranked Daniil Medvedev, who beat Oscar Otte 7-6 (3), 6-3 to advance to a second straight grass-court final after he was runner-up at 's-Hertogenbosch.

Hurkacz and Medvedev have each won two of their four matches together, though Hurkacz was the winner of their only meeting on grass in the fourth round of Wimbledon last year and also won the most recent match in Miami in March.

Matteo Berrettini reached his fourth consecutive grass-court final as he overpowered unseeded Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp to move into the final at Queen's Club.

Big-serving Berrettini moved one step closer to defending his Queen's Club crown, rolling over the world number 29 from Holland 6-4 6-3 in 90 minutes to reach the final, and he even received a marriage proposal into the bargain following the straight-sets win.

The Italian was then propositioned by an admirer in the stands and said, smiling: "Let me think about it."

Berrettini, runner-up at Wimbledon last year, beat Andy Murray to claim a third grass-court title in Stuttgart last week.

He has won his last eight matches on grass and has now become only the fourth man to reach four consecutive finals on the surface, along with Murray, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

"I didn't know that," he said. "It feels nice. Obviously I can't compare myself to those three players, they made history in our sport but I'm trying to learn from them and hopefully one day I'm going to beat them."
