2021 Wimbledon SF: [7] Matteo Berrettini ITA vs [14] Hubert Hurkacz POL

[zagor]

Roddick did face Federer in all 3 to be fair.

Yep and did better in 2004 and 2009 than Murray would have IMO. As I said though, it's a subjective opinion.

Credit goes to Murray for his consistency.

 

[MasterZeb]

Berretini is as unlikeable as Hurkacz is likeable

 

[Kralingen]

Congrats to Matteo. Huge win for him

 

[Artanis]

Got the score right (barely)
Now, there is hope in the final...

 

[Rago]

Just like that, @tennis_pro reaches his first ever Slam final.

Huge congrats!

 

[Nostradamus]

Did Berrentini just say,,,, "The Towel,, The Towel.,,,,,,,i am getting the Towel"....................... man those Italians,,,, pilfering those towels..... no wonder other players have no towel

Just like that, @tennis_pro reaches his first ever Slam final.

Huge congrats!

Haven’t seen the pu$$ycat avatar lately. Can’t say I’ve missed him.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Forza, Italia!

 

[TennisFan3]

Congratulations to the Italian for making his first slam Final.

Italy in the Euro Cup final. And Italy with Matteo in the Wimbledon final. What a Sunday for Italy!

Let's hope that Italy can do something in the Euro Cup Final, to get over the heartbreak/beatdown Matteo will face on Sunday.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Berra 60 winners and only 18 UEs in this match compared to hurkacz 27 winners and 26 UEs. Berra was clearly the aggressor.

 

[Arak]

Well done, Matteo.

 

[MasterZeb]

Really conflicted for Sunday. On one hand, its novak aiming to tie fed. And on the other hand, its berettini. Idk what i want less

 

[abmk]

He took one toilet break in 2017 AO though after his opponent did (justified in my eyes, tit for tat). This year against Cilic was a pure nonsense call.

The worst Fed did in that regard was 2010 QF against Davydenko, really halted his momentum with a toilet break.

not really. Fed took toilet break at end of set 1 and came back within time (as per rule). then went down a break and was facing BP for going double break down. So toilet break did nothing to halt momentum.
Fed turned it around with change of tactics - slicing&dicing more, hitting more at davy than away from him (davy was hitting really well on the run)

 

[Gumbo Jackson]

Berrettini absolutely dominated aside from the poorly played tiebreaker. Hope he brings his A game to the final.

 

[Terenigma]

Berrettini would be the fave for me vs Shap (If that even has a chance of happening) because the latter has a garbage return of serve.

 

[SardinesForDinner]

Nice to see a proper celebration and not some Kevin Anderson crap

 

[FedrMatt]

Bello, Matteo

I’m a bit parched

 

[TheAssassin]

That was some scary serving from Berrettini today. Good job reaching the first Slam final.

 

[zagor]

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Berrettini/Tomljanovic the tennis super couple right now. Modern day Hewitt/Clijsters.

Monfils/Svitolina wish they were as successful as this but neither have accomplished what these two did this tournament..

 

[merwy]

Can’t believe the guy who just straight-setted peak Federer got his ass handed to him by Berettini. What a strong era we’re living in to be able witness all these GOAT-level players.

 

[daphne]

There it is. Berrettini in the final as predicted. Djok must win the next one and then BH Berrettini to the Moon.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Nicely done by the Berrettini.
What happened to the polish dude? was he too nervous?

 

[Lleytonstation]

Berr didn't cry... Djoker has competition. Jk.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

It was embarrasing performance by Federer but hurkacz took advantage .

Yep and did better in 2004 and 2009 than Murray would have IMO. As I said though, it's a subjective opinion.

Credit goes to Murray for his consistency.

Beat Murray in the 2009 SF also.

 

[FedrMatt]

Nicely done by the Berrettini.
What happened to the polish dude? was he too nervous?

He ate a bagel, got a spurt of energy from it, then ended up with acute bloating

 

[Krish0608]

Really conflicted for Sunday. On one hand, its novak aiming to tie fed. And on the other hand, its berettini. Idk what i want less

Same.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Well done to Matteo, let's hope we get a good match in the final. Ofc this would be more likely if his opponent is Denis

 

[paolo2143]

I tell you what, if Berrettini plays and serves like this in the final it will take an outstanding performance to overcome him. Even if Novak does make it to final he will have to play out of his skin as Matteo looks almost unbreakable.

I am glad i had a wee £20 on him just after he won Queens because right now it is looking pretty good.

 

[Standaa]

Congratulations to all the Berrettini fans!

 

[Kralingen]

Really conflicted for Sunday. On one hand, its novak aiming to tie fed. And on the other hand, its berettini. Idk what i want less

If he didn’t fist pump after every single point I think I’d be more of a fan

 

[Daniel Andrade]

I just don`t see anyone taking it from Djokovic.
Unless they bring Wawrinka back from the dead or Nadal or Fed from the 2000`s I just don`t.
And I hope I`m wrong.

 

[merwy]

Nicely done by the Berrettini.
What happened to the polish dude? was he too nervous?

He’s out of his league here. Not a bad player but there’s a reason he wasn’t in the top 10 yet

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Good stuff. Pretty crushing performance with great serving and shotmaking.

Will get decked by Djoker in straights.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Berrettini/Tomljanovic the tennis super couple right now. Modern day Hewitt/Clijsters.

Monfils/Svitolina wish they were as successful as this but neither have accomplished what these two did this tournament..

Yeah, but so far Berrettini > Monfils... however, Svitolina >>>>>>>> Tomljanovic.

 

[Arak]

Berettini is a Federer fan. I will root for him if only for this reason.

 

[speedysteve]

The legs have it.
Well played Berrettini.
All you tree trunked wannabe tennis players need to slim down

 

[duaneeo]

I feel Berrettini's chances are great in the final. After confidently serving out the match to make his first slam final, he didn't do the fall-to-the-ground OMG-I-DID-IT celebration. He knows there's more work to be done, and one more match to win before he does that.

 

[FedrMatt]

You can tell how attractive Matteo is by how easily the crowd laughs at what he’s saying lol

 

[TennisFan3]

djokovic will have no problem at all against this guy

He won't have a problem with "Any" guy. Medvedev already lost.

 

[maticftw]

Well, atleast Hurkacz avoided a complete blowout. Great job from Berrettini!

 

[Beulah Jesus]

Charming Matteo!! Warming up to him.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Charming on-court interview with Matteo, his English has really improved in the past year or so.

 

[Krish0608]

I just don`t see anyone taking it from Djokovic.
Unless they bring Wawrinka back from the dead or Nadal or Fed from the 2000`s I just don`t.
And I hope I`m wrong.

Yeah. I thought Berr could, but watching the match today it was obvious to me that there’s no way he can trouble Novak. You need amazing movement on grass to trouble Novak.

 

[PilotPete]

Wow, Berrettini is a really good looking guy, never really noticed before.

 

[paolo2143]

Yeah. But he got mauled in the RG 2021 as well when he had more time on the backhand as the clay helped him. Nothing had improved since then.

He didn't get mauled as by time match was in 4th set Novak was really finding him a handful and it is much easier for Novak to return his serve on clay than it will be here.
Make no mistake if Matteo plays like that in final it will take an outstanding performance to overcome him even from Novak

 

[Cortana]

Even as a huge Djokovic fan I have to say: if Matteo wins Wimbledon, then fully deserved.

Btw, damn he is hot as ****.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Charming on-court interview with Matteo, his English has really improved in the past year or so.

Thinking the same thing.

 

[Sarzy]

Congrats to Matteo, nice win!
