Wimbledon 2021: Matteo Berrettini into final after beating Hubert Hurkacz

Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian to reach the Wimbledon men's singles final with a dominant victory over Poland's Hubert Hurkacz.

The seventh seed and Queen's champion used his powerful forehand to great effect in a 6-3 6-0 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 win.

He will play top seed Novak Djokovic or Denis Shapovalov in Sunday's showpiece, just hours before his nation take on England in football's Euro 2020 final.

Berrettini is the first Italian man to reach a Grand Slam final since 1976.
