Wimbledon: Matteo Berrettini ends the hopes of Roger Federer’s conqueror Hubert Hurkacz to reach final

Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian player – man or woman – to reach a singles final at Wimbledon after he defeated Hubert Hurkacz in four sets on Friday.

Berrettini recorded his 11th grass-court win of the season with a 6-3 6-0 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 victory over the 14th-ranked Pole to book his spot in his maiden Grand Slam final.

The win ensured he became the first Italian man to reach a Slam final since Adriano Panatta won the Roland Garros title in 1976.

Having already claimed the Queen’s Club title last month, Berrettini is a man in red-hot form heading into the final, where he will play the winner of the second semi-final between world No 1 Novak Djokovic and Canadian youngster Denis Shapovalov.
