If previous meetings between Carlos Alcaraz and Matteo Berrettini are anything to go by, Centre Court at Wimbledon will be treated to a pulsating, marathon encounter when the pair clash in the fourth round on Monday.

"If they told me a few weeks ago, 'You're going to play five days in a row in Wimbledon,' I would have signed with my blood," he added.
