Alcaraz vs Rune will mark the first time in the Open Era that a singles quarter-final at Wimbledon will be contested between two men under 21 years old.

Alcaraz will play Holger Rune next, after Rune beat Grigor Dimitrov.

That’s a first Wimbledon quarter-final for Alcaraz.

“I knew that it was going to be really tough,” he says. “Berrettini is a great player, he made the final here on grass, he’s playing great.

“It’s not easy after losing the first set. I had to stay focused, take my chances. It’s something I’m working on, to keep my focus.”

Carlos Alcaraz 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-3 Matteo Berrettini

Alcaraz just about finds the line with a ground shot, and that’s 15-0. He then puts a serve nice and deep, and Berrettini’s return floats way long. 30-0.

Now Berrettini finds the corner with a backhand return of serve, and Alcaraz can only put a forehand wide as he stretches to get there. 30-15.

Rapid serve down the T by Alcaraz, and it’s called out. He challenges, but to no avail. His second serve is on point, however, and he moves up to the net, forcing a miss out of Berrettini.

Two match points for the Spaniard at 40-15... FIRST ONE SAVED!

Berrettini’s forehand return is just inside the baseline, and Alcaraz’s reactive backhand is in the net. 40-30.

Alcaraz moves Berrettini around the court really well with some terrific forehands, and eventually he moves in for a volley... which he punches long! Another match point saved!

Another match point EARNED, however, as Alcaraz whips a slice serve into the corner for an ace...

Double-fault, and another match point goes begging!

Alcaraz brings up his fourth of those, though, with a fine one-two... and Berrettini sends a backhand return wide!

ALCARAZ WINS 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-3!

Huge serve down the middle from Berrettini. Alcaraz stretches to get a backhand to it, and his return floats over for Berrettini to put away a forehand... but the Italian sends it into the net instead! 0-15.

Again Berrettini can only find the net with a forehand, though this one is played from the baseline and while stepping backwards. 0-30.

The fans give Berrettini some encouragement to get into this game, and it seems to have helped! He fires an ace down the line, creating a plume of chalk. 15-30.

But Alcaraz is too good on the next point, producing a forehand winner to bring about two break points! 15-40.

A brief rally ensues, and Berrettini frames a forehand into the tramlines! His serve is broken, and Alcaraz will serve for the match...

Big serving from Alcaraz, and Berrettini struggles every step of the way in this game.

It’s a second straight hold to love for the world No 1.

*Carlos Alcaraz 3-6 6-3 6-3 3-3 Matteo Berrettini

Berrettini with a solid first point for 15-0, but he then puts a smash into the tape after a competitive rally – and it doesn’t fall kindly for him! 15-15.

He gets back in front, then slams an ace out wide for 40-15.

Alcaraz swats a forehand long, and there’s the hold!

There’s an enormous round of applause as Alcaraz prepares to get this match back under way.

And when he does, he does so in fine fashion, slinging a forehand up the line and into the corner for a winner. Berrettini then nudges a forehand of his own long. 30-0.

This time it’s a backhand that the Italian sends long, and on the next point he has no answer for a serve out wide, framing it low into the net.

Alcaraz with a perfect service game.
