"I am trying to make the maximum of my own abilities each match and see what happens," said 34-year-old Djokovic.
He broke for 2-1 but Djokovic, in his 10th Wimbledon semi-final and 41st at the majors, was back on terms in the 10th game before taking the tiebreak when the Canadian double-faulted.Shapovalov then failed to take five break points in the second set and Djokovic pounced. Again, he made the Canadian left-hander pay by breaking for 6-5 and serving out the match in the next game.
"I said 'it doesn't matter', I was feeling the stronger player and that's what I said to myself and eventually it paid off."Should he win the final, Berrettini may be able to celebrate a national double with Italy facing England in the Euro 2020 final in London later that day. The 25-year-old then raced through the second set in just 23 minutes, a Hurkacz double fault and a wrong-footing forehand allowing Berrettini to seal a 10th successive game.
