Stefanos was surprisingly similar to Federer when it came to shot types, obviously not in the return game or quality. Key words according to the new "Evaluating tennis styles" website...

TSITSIPAS
  • Likes to hit forehands
  • Uses variety
  • Likes to go to net
  • Strong Forehand
  • Big Serve
FEDERER
  • First-Strike
  • Likes to go to net
  • Strong Forehand
  • Big Serve
The style yes, the results not - so far at least.

I wouldn't credit Pus with 'variety' when he doesn't have a reliable slice, which is really a must for the one-hander. The rest is hardly surprising, obviously for both their serve and forehand are their biggest weapons... except Federer was much better than Tsitsipas at any type of shot.

Can either of them hit three topspin backhands in a row?

I wonder who posted this one. @StefanV seems like a good poster.
 
Give him some time. He's still working on his game. Someday Federer will be a poor man's Tsitsipas.
 
I thoughts Tsits would win one or two slams before outlandish Yahoo-clickbait predictions would be posted.
Let's see. Fed better FH, serve, 1HBH, better movement, trick shots, grace, hair, has a set of twins, Rolex commercials, shoe company/investor and the Tsits has his Dad as coach. A lot of lopsided things here.
 
Djokovic has traumatized him for life. Djokovic was down and out in the RG 2021 Final but he roared back from a 0-2 deficit and won. Then Djokovic poured salt on already big wound at the AO 2023 Final by winning in straight sets. By the time Djokovic retires it will be too late for Tsitsipas to make any big improvements in his career.

How many such souls has this monster harvested in his career?

There I said it. I watched Federer since the beginning and I’ve been watching Tsitsipas for the last 4-5 years and I can tell you the Greek has a higher ceiling than the Swiss. He's a very special talent. For starters, I think Tsitsipas is a better baseliner and mentally stronger when compared to Federer. Yes I’m aware of what happened in USO 2020 so don’t bother mentioning it, cause it happens, and I’ve seen enough of Tsitsipas to know he’s one tough motherf*cker. Even Federer himself admitted the guy is tough as nails after struggling against him and losing the two biggest encounters between them.

I have no doubt he’ll achieve great things in the future; however, I don’t think he’ll have the same success Federer had. Tsitsipas’s generation is way more talented than Federer’s generation so unfortunately for him, he won’t have Federer’s luxury as the competition will be fierce. Roddick, Hewitt and Baghadatis are really nothing compared to Medveved, Sinner, Zverev and Thiem. Besides, Tsitsipas seems like a guy who has other interests in life than to keep hitting a ball until he’s 45 years old like Federer. Anyways, that’s not the point.

The point is I believe The Greek God has what it takes to take Federer’s game to the next level. He'll be performing and playing tennis at a higher level. That he’ll do should he put in the effort. His backhand and RoS still leave a lot to be desired and not at Fed’s level yet but he’ll get there. Federer kept improving even in his 30s so Stefanos has a lot of time ahead of him to improve.

One more thing, I’m not sure of this but I can see him becoming even a more popular player than Federer in the future. Two reasons, he’s better looking and more active in the social media, all what’s left is success which is coming his way soon!

#Your heard it here first.
Bump it in a few years.

Pretty doubtful.

That 2023 RG beatdown from Alcaraz might have been one of the saddest things I've seen lol. Not sure if I've ever seen a player's movement get so exposed.

Thank you, ur a genius
 
He’s ranked like….35 now

If he does not get it together, it will be one of the quickest declines in tennis history

Anyone who doubts my statements on the end of a tennis player’s prime being 26yo needs to find me another reason why Zverev, Medvedev, Rublev and TPas have all taken a huge step back this year.

Rublev 28
Zverev 28
Medvedev 29
TPas 27

what is he even defending next year? (points wise) i just can't see this broken clock relationship with daddy ever working out for him. should've sucked up and stuck around with the Big G (who was 1000% on the money about lil' tsits) instead...

Next to nothing. He only achieved triple-digit points at 5 tournaments this year.

500 Dubai (WIN)
200 Monte-Carlo (QF)
100 Indian Wells (4R)
100 Rotterdam (QF)
100 Barcelona (QF)

Everything else is negligible 10-50 points. He lost 2nd round basically everywhere this year.

I think Badosa had him on the right track, but for dudes, pleasing/defeating Dad is everything

thanks! totally forgot he won a 500... lol that might be what brings him down into triple digit ranking next year...
 
Something I think hurt TPas is his insistence on playing doubles even as he became a top singles player. Stupid
