Berrettini is better than Tsitsipas in every way

[thomasferrett]

Both are serve + forehand bots, but when you think about it;

Forehand: Berrettini's is more powerful
Topspin backhand: Berrettini's is more solid
Slice backhand: Berrettini's is way better
1st serve: Berrettini can hit more mph
2nd serve: Berrettini can hit more rpm's
Volleys: Berrettini has better touch

Perhaps Tsitsipas has a marginal advantage in movement, but Berrettini is significantly ahead in pretty much every other category.

If Berrettini stays healthy for any stretch of time he will have a way better career than Tsitsipas.

Berrettini has the worst backhand drive since Karlovic.

 

[tennis3]

It's not called the Berrettini Open for nothin'

 

[Ray Mercer]

Movement definitely goes to Tsitsipas and movement is such a large part of the game.

 

[thomasferrett]

Berrettini has the worst backhand drive since Karlovic.

Still better than Tsitsipas's though

 

[aldeayeah]

Berrettini far superior to Tsitsipas in every aspect of the game, even dropshot and lob.

 

[junior74]

Still better than Tsitsipas's though

Absolutely not.

But his slice is perhaps the best in the game now

I would not be surprised if Berrettini wins 1-3 Wimbledons.

what do you mean?
Even though Berretini is a much better mover than Tsitsipas, Tsitsipas is a much better server!

 

[Stratotanker]

Except for…results. Jeez. Matteo is three years older and has 1 M1000 final to Stef’s 6.

 

[happyandbob]

Wait are you talking about Matteo Berrettini? Isn't he already 27?

Matteo is much better than Tsitsipas... at being older and already on the downside.

Matteo is much better than Stefanos in getting laid with hot women.

Stefanos still searching for the right quote.

 

[veelium]

Sadly Berrettini is also way better at being injured all the time.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Berretinni does have a beautiful slice. He can really knife it low over the net and not float it producing a sitter. It’s too bad that the courts have reduced the effectiveness of the slice.

 

[Krish0608]

Matteo has nothing on Tsitsipas. Maybe on Grass but even that will not be the case when they are done with their respective careers.

 

[thrust]

Berrettini far superior to Tsitsipas in every aspect of the game, even dropshot and lob.

I do like Berrettini, but what has he won? Outside of getting to a Wimbledon final, I do not recall him winning a masters title, while Stefanos has won two at MC and did get to a FO final.

I wasn't sure before, but I just checked and saw that Stefanos has also won a WTF final.

[Federer and Del Potro]

Break it down:

Serve: Matteo more pace, spin, and variety

Forehand: Matteo more authority

Backhand: Matteo can hit 3 or more topspin backhands in a row

Volleys: Matteo more punch, touch, and feel

Overall, not a very flattering situation for peak Greek player against the explosive Italian

 

[travlerajm]

Tsitsipas has gotten past the first round at Wimbledon only once in the last 5 years. I approve this thread.

The only tournament where Berrettini will make the semis or finals will be Wimbledon. And you know why. His big serve. He's 27 with 7 titles - no masters 1000 and all of them on grass or clay.

Tsitsipas is 24 with 9 titles already (2 Masters 1000 and 1 ATP finals) on all surfaces. He does not have the Berrettini serve or Berrettini forehand but he has consistency on that wing and most importantly a game that wins him titles.

You were saying?

 

[Crocodile]

Both are great and not so great in various things at various times. It depends on which of these two guys or someone else can get to the next level. Currently neither have mastered the consistency needed to be one of the greats,

 

[Fairhit]

Calves wise, even scrawny Sinner has Berretini beaten.

 

[big ted]

if berrettini's so great how come he cant beat djokovic?
