Backhand slice into the net from the Italian - deuce. A 133mph body serve from Berrettini and Auger-Aliassime’s awkward backhand return lands into the alley. Body serve from the Canadian works nicely as Berrettini makes a mess of the backhand. Second serve, on the body, and Berrettini hits the backhand down the line wide. A running forehand into the net from FAA and it is a sixth set point for Berrettini who goes 12-11 up with the Canadian to serve. T serve from the man in red and Berrettini’s backhand lands into the net. Wide ace into the deuce court from Berrettini - 10-9 and a fourth set point with FAA serving. Wide serve into the deuce court from Berrettini and FAA’s forehand return down the line goes wide. Wide serve into the ad court from Berrettini, the Canadian gets the backhand crosscourt in, the Italian goes for forehand down the line but FAA hits a gorgeous forehand crosscourt pass to save another set point. Gritty stuff from FAA to hang in and get a shot deep into the backhand corner of the Italian who hit the return into the net - 5-all.
