Better future career. Zverev or Tsitsipas?

[JohanLiebert]

Who do you think will end up with the better career?

 

[weakera]

Clearly Tsitsipas

 

[Phoenix1983]

Clearly Zverev

 

[Fedinkum]

I hope they are both your berdych/dimitrov level journey-man. Can't stand both. I will say Tsitsipas' game is at least more entertaining.

 

[nov]

Its a coin flip.

 

[ChrisRF]

I don't think Zverev will ever win a Slam, but Tsitsipas also has to win one first. Until then Zverev already has 3 Masters and a WTF.

 

[TennisFan3]

Zverev by a country mile. Just FAR MORE talent and far better.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Tennis career? Zverev.
Twitter career? Tsitsipas.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Tennis career? Zverev.
Twitter career? Tsitsipas.

lol

 

[Galdust]

Tsitsipas. He's got the variety and knows how to hit a second serve.

 

[Wurm]

Zverev's style of play is more reliable, typically, so I think he'll go onto a better career overall but it's all down to whether or not he can manage his second serve woes successfully for a big block of time.

 

[Krish0608]

Tsitsipas and it’s not even close. Tsitsipas is a better player overall. He has a better on court temperament, hits a way better forehand, more reliable serve, moves arguably better and has a way better net game. And as he improves, the gulf between them will widen even more. The only thing that Zverev has going for him is his backhand and even that is breaking down more often these days.

Recency bias is a powerful thing

 

[octogon]

Obviously Tsitsipas

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Tsitsipas seems more ambitious atm. Needs to mature a bit but he has an intensity about him.

Zverev comes off as blasé, def not as intense as he was 2-3 yrs ago.

 

[mbm0912]

Obviously that "FAA" guy everyone was talking about.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Clearly Tsitsipas

Anyone that votes Zverev needs to explain his stupendous choke in the USO finals, including yips on his serve. I'm no fan of Tsistsipas, but he has beaten Fed in a slam and held his nerve in big moments.

Zverev is already a playboy who dates endless strings of models (no criticism of that, hell, go for it). Tsitsipas says he doesn't have a GF "because all I want to do is focus on tennis, relationships can wait." Safin and Nastase both could have won more majors had they not allowed the partying lifestyle to impede their game. Hell, Sampras has had only two GF's in his entire life because he prioritized tennis.

Tsitipas blew 6(!) MPs against Coric at USO. Zverev choked in the final big time but it’s not like Tsitsipas is a clutch Djokoesque beast.

 

[JohanLiebert]

Update?

 

[CYGS]

Zverev

 

[Red Rick]

Update?

By all means Zverev should be better, but somehow he generally isn't. Neither will dominate at this point though.

 

[ibbi]

If Zverev can sort his yips on serve out then probably him. Now he seems to have gotten over whatever the hell his bo5 issues were I think he doesn't have the choker tendencies Tsitsipas clearly does. Of course yips are more likely to destroy a career than be gotten over, so who knows.

 

[NAS]

I have been saying this for ages that if Zverev can solve his serve problem, he might have won the slam, and it was his serving that cost him us open 20.

 

[Arak]

I feel that Tsitsipas has already reached his peak, while Zverev still has some technical issues that, if fixed, can take him to a much higher level.

He has not yet.
