Novak Djokovic said he expects a "great battle" against Italian powerhouse Matteo Berrettini in Sunday's Wimbledon final when victory will earn the Serb a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title.
"Anything is possible in the finals," defending champion Djokovic, who has won five of his previous six Wimbledon finals including in 2018 and 2019, told reporters. Djokovic booked his place in the final with a typically dogmatic performance against Shapovalov who, in his first Grand Slam semi-final, often outshone his illustrious opponent but faltered at critical moments.
"He was the better player I think for the first couple sets. He had a lot of opportunities and just didn't manage to close it out when he needed to. In important moments I think I probably held my nerves better than he did and just make him play an extra shot, make him do an unforced error, which was the case."
