Only a few active players managed to win an ATP title on all 3 surfaces (hard, clay, grass) and Matteo Berrettini can join this exclusive club at the 2022 Napoli Cup.

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray obviously won a title on all three surfaces in their career but there are only a few more active players that also did that. Dominic Thiem, John Isner, Richard Gasquet, Feliciano Lopez, Roberto Bautista Agut, Marin Cilic, Grigor Dimitrov and Lucas Pouille all did it a long time ago.

And for long five years, the Frenchman was the last player to join this club. However, in 2022, Stefanos Tsitsipas joined this club by winning his first grass-court title at the 2022 Mallorca Championship.

Only a few weeks after that, Borna Coric triumphed at the 2022 Cincinnati Masters and after a five-year break, two players managed to accomplish this rare feat in one year.

And there can be another one as Matteo Berrettini will play first hard-court final in his career. The Italian will take on fellow compatriot Lorenzo Musetti in 2022 Napoli Cup final and his triumph would mean that he would add his first hard-court title to the collection that includes 3 clay-court and 4 grass-court titles.

A few players could join the club in the coming seasons. Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz miss a title from clay while Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Cameron Norrie and Casper Ruud miss a grass-court title.
