Filip Krajinovic enters his first final of the season in London

The Serbian made his debut in London and fought against Cilic in tough weather. The 30-year-old made powerful strokes and maintained his consistency throughout the 80 minutes of the game. Krajinovic disclosed that he had never won a match on grass before the tournament. He initially aimed at winning just one or two games, but entering the final is a dream come true for the Serb. 

He will now face 2021 titlist Matteo Berrettini in the summit clash on Sunday. He has a 0-4 head-to-head record in tour-level finals but can target a win against the Italian, having had a strong run in the tournament so far. Krajinovic looked ahead to the final and said he'd enjoy the match. The Serb admitted that he had nothing to lose, so he'd give his best and see what happened. Krajinovic is now world number 31 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings after thrashing Jenson Brooksby, Sam Querrey and Ryan Peniston this week.

Despite facing a player as experienced as Cilic, the Serb tired him out and saved all six break points he faced to secure his third top 20 wins of the year. Cilic has 35 wins to his credit at The Queen's Club in his career, a record unbeaten by an active player. Unfortunately, he couldn't secure his fifth final on the ATP 500 grass court and his first match against Krajinovic despite winning the tournament twice (2012 and 2018).

Matteo Berrettini will compete at the Queen's Club final

Italy's Matteo Berrettini advanced to his fourth consecutive grasscourt final after outclassing unseeded Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp 6-4, 6-3 on Saturday. The second seed will have a more extensive fan base on Sunday's final against Serbia's Filip Krajinovic, who took easy advantage of seventh-seeded Croatian Marin Cilic to charge into the finals. A brief rain delay broke his form, but he came back to break the Dutchman's serve and sailed towards victory. World number 10 Berrettini, the Wimbledon finalist last year, has now won 19 of his last 20 matches on grass.

He lost the final, the only match during the spell, to Novak Djokovic. The 26-year-old dropped only four points on his first delivery. Berrettini then broke his opponent's serve in a sixth marathon game and was leading 5-2 when he dropped his serve but broke again to sack the opener. Van de Zandschulp couldn't increase his game, and Berrettini pulled the match in his favour.
