Matteo Berrettini vs Arthur Fils prediction
Matteo Berrettini brought an end to Stan Wawrinka’s career at Wimbledon as he beat the Swiss in an epic four set match. The match lasted over four hours and featured a mammoth second set tiebreak, with just two breaks of serve overall. Ultimately, Berrettini would come from a set down to win 6-7 (7) 7-6 (16) 7-6 (7) 7-6 (5). The 2021 Wimbledon finalist saved six set points in the second breaker to avoid going two sets to love down.
He will now face Arthur Fils. The Frenchman was making his return from injury, having not featured since the Italian Open in May. He was handed a tough first-round draw as he went against up Raphael Collignon, but Fils produced a fine display to win 7-5 6-1 6-3. This was his first match on grass since Wimbledon 2024.
Berrettini has the weapons to cause Fils problems, but there have to be concerns over his overall fitness after such a gruelling first-round encounter.
