Matteo Berrettini has been giving a hard time to World No.1 Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon Championships 2021 final. The Italian claimed the first set, and as Djokovic was making a comeback in the second set, Berrettini played a brilliant tweener.

Trailing at 5-1, Berrettini served to stay in the second set. He was leading at 40-0 as he looked to close the gap to Djokovic. He served towards Djokovic’s backhand, and the Serbian returned it deep in the middle of the court. Berrettini then fired in a fierce forehand that Djokovic barely managed to return.

Then Berrettini played a drop shot, and Djokovic ran ahead to claim the ball. Djokovic was able to lob the ball over Berrettini’s head into the left corner of the court. Berrettini ran behind and hit a tweener lob that went over Djokovic’s head. Then Djokovic ran behind to hit a tweener for himself but he wasn’t successful and Berrettini picked up the point and the game, 5-2.

The crowd was stunned as Berrettini played an absolute stunner. First, Djokovic defended very well to stay in the point. Later the Serbian almost won the point, but Berrettini had other ideas. As the crowd applauded, Berrettini raised his hands and had a small grin on his face.
