Good enough, #7 jr world, to be [5] seed here and now in the Jr SFs.
Tall, lanky, 2HBH. Volleys OK, but baseliner.
Must be top US jr now.
Can make a living in tennis.
Face like mother's.

How about this Swiss Henry Bernet? I watched him play in a challenger last year, his playing style is quite similar to Wawrinka's and Federer's.
He just defeated the top seed Kumstatt, 7-6 7-6
I heard a lot of hype against him. Is he promising?
Marius_Hancu
Talk Tennis Guru
Yes, just beat Kumstatt in QFs, saw part of it. We can watch him in the SFs.
Might play Leach in the final.
Yes, he is using the 1HBH quite well.
For now, he plays somewhat in the style of Federer, moving fluidly.
He's tall, not big for now, he'll need to put on some muscle.
I think he is definitely promising, see him here:

It gives his story more heft in my opinion. So much talent, so much hate from segments of the fandom, yet no major.
He could rectify that in Melbourne, but I wouldn't mind if the storyline continued.

Does anyone know why the Agassi/Graf kids aren't the most insanely gifted tennis players in the history of the planet? Did they even play tennis?
Wow, sold! I will 100% support him if he shows up on tour.

If you know attitude era, then Christian is half of Edge and Christian who made tlc popular.

Because both Agassi and Graf had tennis maniac parents and did not want to force their kids down that route. They both harbor a love-hate relationship with the sport, and they didn't want to continue that legacy.
Smart.

I don't know about them, but Lindsay and Leach have 4 kids. All were introduced to tennis, but only Jagger stayed in it.

These games are at a crazy time. If they don't have the decency to move this to Cincy they need to at least play them at Cincy time.

Agreed.
And the question about “how does it feel that everyone’s rooting against you”, is maybe not very nice, but a very legitimate question.
If you can handle walking into a hostile arena, you should be able to handle being asked about it.

Good news is he doesn’t seem hampered by his leg injury. Bad news is that he still has heavy taping on that leg visible beneath his shorts.

Henry Bernet on 1573.
Wins a tight 1st set TB with two magnificent 1BH winners.
Jagger Leach-[Davenport] is on court 6, in the other SF.

Now on Laver, Jr F
Henry Bernet is indeed using Wavrinka's 1HBH, not Federer's
Beautiful, lots of power. Wins 1st set with it.
From Fed's club.

Unfortunately didn't watch, but the stats are staggering in many levels. Zverev's aces (didn't help him win), Sinner never facing a breakpoint even once, Sinner's first and and second serves return win, etc, etc.
Dang, he's on a 24th winning streak! Congrats, impressive win/run. Most of his W were also in straight sets.

Men's tennis has been given a breath of life (no predictions on how long it will last), with Sinner defending his Australian Open title, and defeating the talent-challenged, Violent Offender Zverev to achieve it in straight sets! That was a great display of Sinner's true talent. One can feel his sense of vindication after months of babbling noise attempting to destroy his reputation and career (at the hands of some who wanted him to fail or lose his career to protect an overrated opponent).
I laugh heartily at the pre-match predictions trying to sprinkle Abuser Dust on Zverev to win, handicapping Sinner to degrees only born of desperation (and their reasons for defending him across endless threads) to see Zverev achieve a majors victory when he never had a chance.
Australian Open 2025 Men's Side: Djokovic served his purpose by defeating the overrated Alcaraz, and Sinner restated his position as a force at the majors by taking the Violent Offender Zverev to school and winning the title.
Great results and messages sent for the future.

4 min of the JR Final. Some GREAT shots.
The American finalist, Benjamin Willwerth, will go to U of Arizona.
The champion, the Swiss Henry Bernet, will try to up his ATP ranking (#700 or so).
He's signed with Federer's company for something or other. He's from Roger's club of Basel too.
Severin might coach him.
Kudos to the boys.

This is a great story and great for tennis. I would LOVE to find out that Roger himself was giving some 1HBH advice to the youngster.
In the face of EVERYONE saying the 1HBH was dead. This was on hard courts!
