After completing a serve-and-volley sequence with a winner on his third match point, Matteo Berrettini turned to his box and nodded. He knew he was on his way.Berrettini, who fell out of the top 100 in May, came out on Center Court to defeat skilled Frenchman Arthur Fils, the 20th seed, 6-4, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 and advanced to the third round of Wimbledon.The 30-year-old Italian, the Wimbledon finalist in 2021, fought a long battle against his own body. Against Fils, he hit 16 aces and found his best level when it mattered most.“I played a very high-level game. Arthur was also very good,” said Berrettini. “I had a little break in the game in the third set, and then I started serving better in the fourth. I have a lot of confidence now. It’s been a while since I played a lot of matches in Grand Slams, in Paris and here too. Obviously I had difficult moments in my career, but I’m happy, smiling, I’m back.Earlier, French Open champion Alexander Zverev defeated Valentin Royer 6-1, 6-3, 7-6 (3) in two hours and four minutes at No. 1 Court.Defending champion Iga Swiatek looked every bit the player who lifted last year’s title, should her opening-round attempt against Taylor Townsend be dismissed, as she cruised to a 6-1, 6-3 second-round victory over 2021 finalist Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic.
