Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian to reach the men's singles semi-finals at Wimbledon since Nicola Pietrangeli in 1960 by beating Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old Roman will face Herbert Hurkacz after the Pole knocked out tennis great Roger Federer in straight sets in the quarter-finals.
"If he beat Federer it means he is in good shape," said Berrettini, who last month won Queen's, an important warmer for Wimbledon, as a debutant.
"But I am confident".
