Matteo Berrettini vs Alex De Minaur: Wimbledon 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Matteo Berrettini faced fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego in both his grass matches this year. He suffered a crushing defeat in ATP Stuttgart, losing 1-6 2-6, but bounced back in the first round at Wimbledon. Despite being a formidable competitor to Novak Djokovic in past Wimbledon tournaments, finishing as the runner-up in 2021, Berrettini’s victory in the first round this year is seen as an achievement due to recent fitness challenges. He had been struggling with injuries and hadn’t won a match since April’s Monte Carlo Masters. Although he was ousted in the first round at the Australian Open by Andy Murray, Berrettini has consistently performed well in Grand Slam tournaments, including his dependable performance at Wimbledon.

In his first-round match against Kimmer Coppejans, Alex de Minaur faced a tough situation, losing the first set and needing to come back in the fourth set. Avoiding a fifth set was crucial for the Australian, especially considering the rain delays earlier in the week. These delays meant players had to play consecutive matches without a day break, making recovery from physically demanding five-set matches more challenging. Despite lacking powerful weapons compared to his Italian opponent, de Minaur has had success on grass. He won the Eastbourne title two years ago, was one set away from the Wimbledon quarterfinals last year, and recently finished as the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz in London, just two weeks prior.
