Show latest update 1562607620 Berrettini 1-6 2-5Â Federer*
Berrettini not offering much at all at the moment - he gives away his second break of the set with a poor attempt at a drop shot.Â
Federer will now serve for a two-set lead. We've only been playing 43 minutes...
Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:40
1562607760 *Berrettini 1-6 2-6Â Federer
FEDERER WINS THE SECOND SET!
He's in a rush. Federer holds with ease, and after 46 minutes, it's all too easy for the 20-time major winner.Â

Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:43
1562608025 Kei Nishikori has won the third set against Mikhail Kukushkin, 6-3.Â
The eighth seed is now 2 sets to 1 up...
Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:47
1562608180 Berrettini 1-6 2-6 0-1Â Federer*
But what I am stunned about is this miss from Berrettini! At 0-40, he looks to have won the point and all he has to do is put the ball away at the net, but he lets it drop below the net and barely touches it....
Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:49
1562608282 *Berrettini 1-6 2-6 0-2Â Federer
Federer holds to 15, as he oozes class at the net, as per usual.Â
Five minutes till we hit the hour mark in this match...
Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:51
1562608645 Berrettini 1-6 2-6 0-3Â Federer*
Ah dear, and I thought it couldn't get much worse...
At ad Federer, his second break point of the game, Berrettini misjudges a sliced return on the baseline, slips and misses the ball, ending up on the ground!
Funny? Embarrassing? Unlucky? Either way, this is probably the most one-sided match I've watched at this year's Championships...
Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:57
1562608760 Milos Raonic was serving for the match at 5-3 in the fourth against Guido Pella, but was broken! It's back on serve...
Kieran Jackson 8 July 2019 18:59
1562608919 *Berrettini 1-6 2-6 0-4Â Federer
Would you believe, Berrettini actually had a break point in that game?!
He was also jeeing up the crowd, which was nice. Nonetheless, he couldn't convert, and Federer has one foot in Wednesday's quarters...
Actually, make that a foot and four toes...
