Berrettini takes Stuttgart Open

Italian Matteo Berrettini showed signs of recapturing the form that took him to the Wimbledon final last year as he beat Andy Murray 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 to win the Stuttgart (Germany) Open in his first tournament in three months.

Berrettini hadn’t played since Indian Wells in March because of a hand injury that forced him to miss the entire clay-court swing and, in Murray, faced an opponent whose own injury hampered him in the deciding set.

Three-time Grand Slam event champion Murray collided with one of the courtside players seats in the first point of the decider and required treatment on his left leg and hip.

Tournament organizers said an investigation began after Nick Kyrgios said he faced racist abuse from the crowd in his semifinal loss to Murray the day before.

Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil captured her first WTA title by winning the Nottingham (England) Open thanks to a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 victory against Alison Riske of the U.S. In the men’s event, top-seeded Dan Evans of Britain beat thirdseeded Jordan Thompson 6-4, 6-4 in the final to win the title for the second time.
