Musetti wins title in Naples

Final day in Naples.

2022 Tennis Napoli Cup, an ATP 250 tournament, on Hard, in Naples, Italy, 17-23 October 2022.

This was previously an ATP Challenger Tour tournament, and has been upgraded this year to ATP 250 level on the ATP Tour calendar.

2021 champion (not defending):
Tallon Griekspoor (4) who defeated Andrea Pellegrino 6-3 6-2

Final:

Lorenzo Musetti (4) (Italy) v wildcard Matteo Berrettini (2) (Italy)

The two players had never met before in an ATP Tour match.

Break points were faced in four of the first six games of the match, but serve was held each time.
Serve continued to be held and a tie break was required.

Points went with serve until Musetti won the seventh point on the Berrettini serve.
It was enough to see him proceed to take the set 7-6(5)

Musetti kept up the momentum by breaking Berrettini in the opening game of set two.
Berrettini was broken again in the seventh game and Musetti led 5-2.

Lorenzo Musetti prevailed 7-6(5) 6-2 to claim his second title from as many finals.
The other one was in Hamburg in July this year.
