Matteo Berrettini def. Stan Wawrinka 6(7)-7(9), 7(18)-6(16), 7(9)-6(7), 7(7)-6(5) — Wimbledon 2026 R128

Match recap

Matteo Berrettini defeated Stan Wawrinka 6(7)-7(9), 7(18)-6(16), 7(9)-6(7), 7(7)-6(5) in the R128 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Down the opening set in a tiebreak, Matteo Berrettini flipped the match in the third on a swing the box score buries: he won 95% of first-serve points to Wawrinka's 66%, and the two players traded breaks in games nine and ten before another tiebreak settled it. The recovery rested on return chances — Berrettini saved the only real break-point trouble while Stan Wawrinka cashed 1 of 2 to Berrettini's 1 of 6, but the Italian's 29 aces and edge in every tiebreak carried four sets that never produced a decisive break. Four tiebreaks, no return-game collapse, finished at 22:03.
