Looks like Berdych just barely took the third set for 7-6(4) 6-7 (4) 7-5 victory.
Really encouraging to see Shapovalov force the issue against a tough, experienced grass player. He did not surrender a break point until the final game of the match either.
If he gets a bit of luck in the draw and avoids the top seeds he will be a tough out as a first round opponent at Wimbledon.
