    Sinner 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 6-5 Berrettini*

    Ohhhhh. Double fault!

    Matteo Berrettini had challenged the call on his first serve but it was indeed out. He followed up with a poor second one.

    That brings up match point for Jannik Sinner.

    Matteo Berrettini finds a big first serve to level things up at 30-30. Relief for the world number 59.

    Oooh. Matteo Berrettini looks like he thinks Jannik Sinner's forehand might be out and it seems to put him off his own forehand which he sends long for 0-30.

    Here is the opening for Jannik Sinner.

    How hard he had to work there and how precious that hold for Sinner.

    If they were to go to a fifth set I am not sure they would get it done.

    Now is the time for Jannik Sinner to strike.

    He is one game away from a place in round three but he hasn't managed to make much of a dent in the Matteo Berrettini serve in his past three service games.

    The trickiest hold Jannik Sinner has had to navigate in some time but he gets the job done with a big serve.

    Are we headed for a third tie-break?

    Matteo Berrettini looks for the crunching forehand but just misses it.

    Those mistakes are creeping in from Jannik Sinner again though and Berrettini berates himself for not managing to take advantage of a loose forehand.

    The athletic ability of both men covering all areas of the court after three hours and 25 minutes.

    Berrettini is looking the fresher man – he looks like he is enjoying himself.

    Matteo Berrettini goes on to secure another hold to love and he's got the impetus right now.

    Ohh what a rally.

    That'll wake up those on Centre Court who are starting to flag.

    The two race around the court, hustling to make every shot. Jannik Sinner eats up the turf to meet Matteo Berrettini's drop shot. Incredibly he makes it but his compatriot has that covered too and nudges over a lovely little drop shot which Sinner can't reach.

    The top seed chucks his racquet in frustration? Desperation? Hope? Who knows at this point.

    Neither player can make a dent in the other's serve at the moment.

    We've had more than three and a quarter hours of action on Centre Court.

    That's the set times so far.

    The support is with Berrettini.

    Nothing against Jannik Sinner, but the crowd want the match to go on.

    Anything you can do, and all that.

    Matteo Berrettini secures a hold to love of his own with yet another huge serve.

    This is probably a good time to remind you that play will stop around 23:00 BST regardless of how the match is going because of the Wimbledon curfew.

    It is something we see on both the men’s and women’s game.

    They are tall but their athletic ability is incredible. Their balance, their footwork around the ball and it is where Sinner has improved so much.

  17. Postpublished at 22:05 British Summer Time 3 July

    Sinner 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 4-3 Berrettini*

    Matteo Berrettini probably thought he'd done enough here to get himself in a good position.

    But Jannik Sinner came straight back at him.

    When Jannik Sinner gets on the attack he looks really dangerous and difficult to stop.

    He pummels the shots to the baseline and Matteo Berrettini is scrambling back and forth.

    The top seed produces a big ace for 40-0 then a crunching forehand to wrap up the hold in less than two minutes.

    Matteo Berrettini looks well on his way to a simple hold but lets Jannik Sinner in with a misplaced forehand.

    He keeps his composure to produce a big second serve and take the hold.

    It is an impressive response.

    When we saw Sinner sitting down at the change of ends, he looked despondent but he’s responded well to take the lead.
