They say the best players work it out.
Sometimes you just feel that momentum switch and with Berrettini you could just see how much it hurt.
*Sinner 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 2-2 Berrettini
Oh that's so unlucky!
Matteo Berrettini sends a stunning backhand round the net and somehow Jannik Sinner gets to it. The world number 59 can't finish that bit of magic off as he sends his forehand long.
Berrettini deserved to win the point based on that shot alone but as it is, Sinner has gone on to race to 40-0.

Those couple of unforced errors are just making life difficult for Sinner and he’s giving chances to Berrettini.
The way that Berrettini has been serving, if Sinner was to falter, I could see this going the distance.
I think Berrettini just deserves so much credit.
Sinner 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 1-2 Berrettini*
Goodness me!
Another error from Jannik Sinner as he slams a forehand into the net. It's rare we see this many unforced errors from the world number one and he shows his frustration on court.

A roar from the Centre Court crowd as Matteo Berrettini gets round Jannik Sinner's volley to execute a sublime forehand for 15-30.
Sinner produces an equally impressive forehand for 30-30. Clipping both the sideline and the baseline. Berrettini had a good look at the spot, wishing it was out. Too good from Sinner.

Sinner is not going to dwell on it. A strong service game and he will try and put some pressure on Berrettini’s service game.

I think Berrettini has come out and really won this third set. Sinner’s intensity perhaps dropped a little bit.
