Djokovic didn't have proper reaction to say the least when he beat Bettettini.

Since that match Berrettini is undefeated. He has won the second best grass tournament on grass. And he has dropped just 3 sets in 10 matches.

Is revenge fuelling the Italian?

Perhaps

that was "I'm coming for you Rafa" scream...little to do with Berrettini. Besides playing with vengeance might not be good for Berrettini
Berrettini was certainly miffed with Novak’s “celebration”. He actually said in the presser that maybe the scream meant that Novak was beginning to get worried of him. And that they were a source of pride for him. Berrettini would have certainly not forgotten that. Not that it’ll matter, but if that fires him up for the final that’s a good thing.

Players get motivation from different things, I'm sure beating Novak in the final would be more rewarding for Berrettini, regardless of how improbable it may be.

They actually practiced together at this Wimbledon. He would be motivated, but there is no animosity clearly

If one of the Big 3 invite you for a hit, it’s rude to say no. Besides I’m not saying there’s any animosity, I’m just saying it could get Berr pumped up if he meets Novak. Nobody wants to lose and see their opponent scream into their face.

I'm pretty sure any feelings of "he screamed at me" won't be near "zomg first Wimbly final gonna play my best no?"

Djokovic - best returner in the history of tennis simply nullifies Berretini’s serve. What does the Italian have left? A thumping forehand with average movement and backhand.

Can only mean one thing.

Berretini win

I can't believe he didn't receive any kind of warning or fine for that. Just kicking the boarding is a code violation, right? And all that screaming.. it might not be explicitly stated in the rules that it's not allowed but come on. That's so disrespectful and downright scary.

Not that I doubt Djokovic would win, but even on clay he was struggling with the Italian's serve. But expect Berrittini to choke in a Wimbledon final.

I think Djoko has his number - only a player with good genuine craft / tactics can beat him in my opinion. Berretini has a hugely effective game and I am a fan of his - I just don’t think he will ask Djokovic enough questions

Berrettini was grinded 6-2 6-1 on fast HC in London. By a Djokovic who then lost his 2 other Round Robin matchs.
His backhand is a big weakness and I think his serve is overrated. I also fear he would choke in a Slam final.
Shapopalov and even Hukacz have more chances to trouble him, imo.

In what universe was Novak's (admittedly, fairly ferocious, possibly over-the-top) scream interpreted as hostility toward Berrettini?

In what universe would Berr need extra motivation to win his first slam?

Oh yeah, TTW.

Matches aren't on Novak's racquet, they are on his lungs 8-B
