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?
