Berrettini leads 5-2 in the fourth set against Fils

Matteo Berrettini took command of the fourth set against Arthur Fils, taking a 5-2 lead and putting the young French talent against the wall at Wimbledon 2026. The Italian used a crucial break in the opening set to build a solid lead, now forcing Fils to serve to avoid defeat in the set and keep his hopes of a comeback alive. The dynamics of the match saw Berrettini impose the pace with a series of winners that left few loopholes for his opponent.

The strategic use of bunts then disoriented Fils, depriving him of the possibility of building his favorite points. On the other side of the net, the Frenchman showed signs of nervousness, accumulating gratuitous errors at key moments and lacking precision on key shots. Berrettini's power from the back of the pitch constantly put Fils' defense under pressure, who struggled to find effective responses.
