The crowd urged Berrettini to get back into the set when the Italian had two break points at 2-3 and Djkovic put his racket to his ears when he held. Djokovic pointed to his head as he walked back to his chair as if to tell to keep up that level. The world No 1 struck first again in the third set when Berrettini put another backhand slice into the net to trail 1-2. Berrettini got one break back but Djokovic served out the set at the second time of asking to draw the match level after one hour and 53 minutes. The Italian held in the seventh game with a between-the-legs tweener lob which the Serb tried to return with a behind-the-back flick. It was the first set the No 1 seed had dropped since facing Jack Draper in the opening round.īut Djokovic responded like a champion by winning the next four games. The packed Centre Court, denied tennis last year, erupted in noise.

And he took the opening set after an exhausting 70 minutes with a 138mph ace.

But the Italian held to huge applause and then broke back when the Serb served for the set at 5-4 to force the tiebreak. He made only 43% first serves in his first two service games as Djokovic broke to lead 3-1 and then had a set point at 5-2 after 35 minutes. Djokovic served two double faults in the opening game and needed to save a break point.īut Berrettini suffered worse stage fright in his first Grand Slam final with his big weapons – his serve and forehand - both mis-firing in the early exchanges. He had started uncharacteristically nervously in pursuit of his latest piece of history. Djokovic's triumph in 2019 against Federer saw the first ever Championship tiebreak in a final but the outcome of this encounter was only briefly in doubt.
