London, 6 July 2021 – Matteo Berrettini a piece of Italian tennis history is played against Felix Auger-Aliassime. By beating the Canadian, number 19 in the ATP ranking and seeded 16th, the Roman would reach the semifinal in Wimbledon, as only one other Italian before him has succeeded so far: Nicola Pietrangeli in 1960. Meanwhile, the number 9 in the World became the fifth blue ever to win a place among the best eight at “The Championships” after Uberto de Morpurgo (1928), Pietrangeli (in 1955 and 1960), Adriano Panatta (1979) e Davide Sanguinetti (1998). Not only that, because the ’96 class has the chance to hit his second semifinal in a Grand Slam tournament after the one in New York two years ago.
Berrettini makes history: he is in the quarters. Sonego eliminated by Federer
Time and where to see the meeting
In short, it goes without saying that for Berrettini the one scheduled on Court 1 for Wednesday 7 July, immediately after the match between Khachanov e Shapovalov (which will start at 2 pm), is a very important appointment. Opposite is Felix Auger-Aliassime, whom the fresh Queen’s champion has already defeated in two sets in the final on the Stuttgart grass in 2019, in the only precedent between the two. Should he eliminate the Canadian, Berrettini would then face the winner of the challenge between Roger Federer e Hubert Hurkacz. The match between the blue and Felix Auger-Aliassime will be broadcast by Sky Sport, to be precise on Sky Sport Uno (channel 201 of the Sky platform on satellite and optical fiber and channel 472/482 of digital terrestrial), on Sky Sport Tennis ( channel 205 of the Sky platform) and on one of the channels from 252 onwards of the platform.
