Result
Matteo Berrettini, unseeded but the 2021 Wimbledon finalist, beat the 20th seed Arthur Fils 6-4 7-5 3-6 6-3 on Centre Court. Berrettini converted three of six break points to Fils's one of six, and though the Frenchman took the third set the Italian's grass pedigree showed in the tighter exchanges. Sixteen aces to eleven and the cleaner return in the deciding games sent Berrettini through in just under three hours.

At this Stage
The seedings said Arthur Fils; the lawn remembered Matteo Berrettini. The 2021 finalist, unseeded now, had opened with an absurd four-tiebreak win over Stan Wawrinka — 6-7(7) 7-6(16) 7-6(7) 7-6(5), an 18-16 breaker included — and followed it by removing the No. 20 seed 6-4 7-5 3-6 6-3 on Centre Court. Fils, a comfortable winner over Raphaël Collignon in round one, took a set but never the argument. Grass pedigree keeps doing what pedigree does. Berrettini walks on to a last-32 meeting with Grigor Dimitrov, the wild card who put out the No. 15 seed — a pairing with rather more past than seeding.
