Novak Djokovic to face Matteo Berrettini in 2021 Wimbledon men’s final

The men’s finalists for 2021 Wimbledon have now been decided. On Friday in the men’s semifinals, world number one, Novak Djokovic of Serbia, defeated the 10th seed, Denis Shapovalov of Canada, 7-6, 7-5, 7-5. Meanwhile, the seventh seed, Mattteo Berrettini of Italy needed four sets to beat 14th seed Hubert Hurkacz of Poland, 6-3, 6-0, 6-7, 6-4. Djokovic will now play Berrettini in the men’s final of Wimbledon on Sunday.

In Djokovic’s win over Shapovalov, it seemed Djokovic won most of the timely points in the match. In the first set, Shapovalov was serving for the set, but was broken by Djokovic. A key point in Shapovalov’s service game came when his overhand smash was too long. In the second set, it was a key double fault by Shapovalov, which allowed Djokovic to take a commanding two sets to love lead.



In Berrettini’s win over Hurkacz, the major reason why the Italian was victorious was because of his serve. Berrettini had 22 aces, while Hurkacz only had five. In an interesting twist, Hurkacz was bageled in the second set after bageling Roger Federer in the third set of the men’s quarterfinals. 

Head-to-head, Djokovic has won both meetings against Berrettini. Djokovic’s first win came in the round robin of the 2019 ATP Finals in London. In a dominant performance, Djokovic was victorious 6-2, 6-1. It was Djokovic’s only win at the ATP Finals from two years ago as he lost to Roger Federer and Dominic Thiem. Then in the quarterfinals of the 2021 French Open, Djokovic beat Berrettini 6-3, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5. Djokovic went on to win the French Open, as he beat Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in five sets.
