Where their football team has led, Matteo Berrettini followed on Friday by taking his place in the final of Wimbledon. The backhand might be a little moderate, a touch functional, but goodness, if Berrettini’s serve doesn’t get you, his forehand will. None of which underplays the guile in Berrettini’s game, because you don’t take the title at Queen’s and follow it with six wins on these courts without knowing how to construct a point. It was 1-0 in the third before Hurkacz won his next game, and yet in the blur of a 6-0 set he only made seven unforced errors. Hurkacz recovered to take the third 7-4 in the tiebreak, but Berrettini broke in the first game of the fourth and what chance did Hurkacz have of breaking back?
