Can Berrettini clinch his first Grand Slam on July 11?

The #7 seed will face either top seed Novak Djokovic or #10 seed Denis Shapovalov in Sunday’s final. Although the Italian’s journey to the final didn’t include defeating a seed in the Top 10, his playing style can trouble the best in the world.

Despite the final on Sunday being Berrettini’s first ever, the Italian has been in good form throughout the grass court season, and will hope to make one last push to claim his first Grand Slam.
