Tis the end of Federer now.
A bagel in the third set to finish it off. Professional sport is cruel and unforgiving and that’s what can happen even to the Great Man at his venerable age against these young guns.
Hurkacz could win it out.
Ah I think you are getting a bit carried away there with Hurkacz can win it, he might get the final depending on who win the Berrettini match. If Berrettini wins I can see him making the final if Felix wins then I can see Hurkacz winning. Djokovic is still the favorite and I cant see anyone beating him.
Clash of the giraffes here.
Will be some amount of aces.
Berrettini reminds me so much of Del Potro.
Our giraffe is flying.
Stunning set there form Berrettini, a bagel.
Hopefully he can keep this level up Sunday against Djokovic.
You’d be cheering for a giraffe against a non-giraffe?
If he’s an Italian giraffe then yes.
Some display from berrettini here. Could be a great Sunday for the Italians
Berrettini must have the best forehand in the game now.
Tie break here. Berrettini has dominated the set though so if the pattern continues you’d expect him to take it
Did Hurkasz not double fault on the second point there?
Hurkasz 4-0 up here.
Berrettini loses the tie break but has an early break in the 4th.
Berrettini should be able to see this out now.
Yeah, he completely dominated the 4th but was sloppy in the tie break.
Has been rock solid on his serve all game so should see it out from here.
Berrettini tightening up here serving out.
Well done Matteo, well done son.
First Italian to ever qualify for a Wimbledon final.
He joins fellow giraffes Big Kevin Anderson, Big Marin Cilic, Big Milos Raonic, Big Mark Philopoussis and Big Richard Kraijcek as recent giraffe finalists at Wimbledon.
Italy might take over London this Sunday.
He can trouble Djokovic if Djokovic gets to the final. Think Djokovic will have too much for him.
