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

[Lleytonstation]

Won’t matter who wins this match. Won’t be shocked if this goes 4 or 5 sets.

Hurk has the better chance though against Djoker.

 

[Krish872007]

Feels a bit loose

 

[Krish872007]

Berrettini's served 80 aces in the tournament heading into this match.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Not much returning thus far. Berrettini had his chance.

 

[aman92]

Hubi's playing clean tennis

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hurk has the better chance though against Djoker.

No chance but we shall see.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Berrettini's served 80 aces in the tournament heading into this match.

And Hubi's been at net 204 times during the tournament, more than anyone else. He needs to come forward a lot today.

 

[Krish872007]

Is there a reason there've been so many shanks this year? Feels like a lot of mishits every match I watch.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Berrettini has a vicious , great second serve, he is going to be hard to break

 

[Lleytonstation]

No chance but we shall see.

Berr has massive weakness while Hurk doesnt.

 

[ForehandCross]

This looks like a good contest tbh.

Hurkacz is playing better than his previous rounds and Berretini is looking decent.

 

[NintendoTennis1990]

Berr has massive weakness while Hurk doesnt.

Also Hurkacz doesnt seem bad mentally, while Berrettini is an idiot mental

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Berr has massive weakness while Hurk doesnt.

Hurkacz in the final would be a disaster. At least Berrettini can take a set in the final, Hubi can't.

 

[NintendoTennis1990]

Hurkacz in the final would be a disaster. At least Berrettini can take a set in the final, Hubi can't.

You mean the opposition of ther

 

[Lleytonstation]

Hurkacz in the final would be a disaster. At least Berrettini can take a set in the final, Hubi can't.

I actually see it the other way around. Berr would fold easily.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Hurkacz is a better Fucsovics. I don't want to watch a straight sets beating in the final.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This feels like a big game already. Hurkacz started to pose berra a problem on his serve now

 

[Lleytonstation]

Hurkacz is a better Fucsovics. I don't want to watch a straight sets beating in the final.

Djoker would expose Berr bh like crazy.

 

[yokied]

The players might not be able to but that African ball boy can really move.

 

[Krish872007]

Hurkacz stepping it up...

 

[Krish0608]

Hubi’s been way better so far.

 

[joekapa]

What's the weather out there like ?

 

[gadge]

Of all the next gen, hubi has the best grass game for sure

 

[ForehandCross]

Hurkacz has a uncanny resemblance with Djokovic.

 

[Krish0608]

This Wimbledon does have a sense of inevitability to it. Considering how they are playing now, neither of these guys will have a prayer against Djokovic

 

[Third Serve]

Just tuning in now.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

A very even contest but massive hold for Berra!

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Hubie in 5, even though I really like the Italian! There’s a calmness about Hurkacz that tells me…….something!

 

[Deleted member 779124]

Hurkacz looks good so far.

 

[Hitman]

Wow

 

[stringertom]

Hurkacz finally gets to net and earns BP but Berry has the Big Eraser serves for the save and a game point. Then, after an error, he erases again. 3-3

 

[ForehandCross]

WOW

 

[stringertom]

The Berry running FH pass was Samprasesque.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

They are both playing really well but I do wish Berrettini would get his first serve percentage up.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This Wimbledon does have a sense of inevitability to it. Considering how they are playing now, neither of these guys will have a prayer against Djokovic

I think novak sees the finish line but he knows he has to play his best. I expect him to do so.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Wow what a crazy point lmao

 

[Hitman]

Again!

 

[Nadal_King]

Although Berrettini has better chances to pose a threat to djokovic but herbert is more consistent so Berrettini -djokovic could be a beatdown or a tough match but djokovic- hurkacz seems more a match which can competitive even if straight sets

 

[maticftw]

Man this is so enjoyable to watch.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Man this is so enjoyable to watch.

Fun tennis for sure.

 

[stringertom]

Net cords galore for 15-30.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

If Berrettini is able to win this match I think he will win on Sunday.

 

[Third Serve]

At least it's the two nextgenners with games that actually make sense on grass. Makes this contest way more watchable than, say, the projected Medvedev vs. Zverev semifinal.

 

[ForehandCross]

Rooting for Hurkacz. Berretini has gaping holes, and it seems Hurkacz actually has the overall better grass court play.


Both looking good atm tbh. This is a good match

 

[BeatlesFan]

Can't help thinking back to the 2018 Djoker-Rafa semi which was about 100 times more interesting than this match. It doesn't matter if these guys go 14-12 in the fifth, there's just a lack of charisma on court. After 15 years of the big three, it will take awhile to get used to lesser players.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Berra breaks!

 

[Lleytonstation]

If Berrettini is able to win this match I think he will win on Sunday.

How? Bh, bh, and another bh. Djoker will win in straights by just exposing that bh.

 

[maticftw]

And Berretteni breaks!

 

[Krish0608]

Berrettini draws first blood!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Berrettini strikes first.
