Tsitsipas is not fun to watch

Mediterranean Might said:
Waiting for return of serve is what is putting you off his tennis? lol

His game is so exciting to watch - one hander with heavy groundstrokes and a solid serve. If you were complaining about his behavior and dumb attitude, then sure but the prep he does before a ROS has got to be the bottom of the list here

See, normally I'm a sucker for the ohbh (see my ID) but I just don't enjoy watching Stefano's. It is clear that he's talented and will probably win slams one day, but there's just something about his style that doesn't work for me.
 
The entertainment factor is a little overrated for him. He's graceful and elegant on the court, but still very restrained. You don't see him explode around the court the way guys like Federer, Wawrinka, Dimitrov, etc do. Doesn't have that same oomph to it.

True, he doesn’t move as well yet. But he is more fiery/crazier than Fed/Grigor/Stan which adds excitement.

I think we're all forgetting how crazy prime Grigor was. He's like if Djokovic's chaotic energy cranked up to 11. With the screaming, violent racquet smashing, tossing himself around like a ragdoll, etc.
He's more than a Federer lite. Federer did not have that borderline-insane streak. (And that's why I like Dimitrov so much more.)

I don't think he is at all tbh. His strokes are all very choppy and violent, even his slice. And movement wise he kinda lumbers around the court if you ask me. I actually like his movement to his forehand side when he gets to step into the court, but going to his BH side looks awkward, maybe because of the way he holds his racket. Doesn't help that he's a pretty tall dude, taller than all the others you mentioned.

The rest of the world agrees.
 
I don't mind watching him play. He isn't my fav of the younger guys to watch, that is still Shapovalov, but he isn't bad by any stretch.

You forgot to mention you hate the way he drinks.
He opens his eyes and looks at the sky instead of closing them.

Watch it, neurological studies show there’s a thin line between love and hate. You soon:

He has a really nice game to watch but other than that not a lot of redeeming qualities.

Arrogant, entitled, xenophobic towards umpires, narcissistic, steals quotes, like come on.

And his other on-court antics aren’t great either, he acts like a brat constantly since 2019 and constantly gets coached by his dad. I cant remember a single tournament where he wasn’t given a warning for coaching.

Dimitrov does NOT explode. His shots are Gasquet-like. No oomph at all.
 
What's all this talk about Twitsipas? I'm coming back to watching pro tennis on a regular basis after at least a couple decades... Is it just me...have I just gotten old...or does the current crop of young ATP players seem to be a little more precious and have more mommies and daddies in their entourages than decades past?

It ain't just you.

Yes. Don't understand the insecurity with some of these Nole fans trying to prop up this era and trash Fed's. Why delusionally pretend Tsitsipas and Zverev are some titans when you have GOAT stats on your side?

The point is, they’re at least as good as the smurfs Fed beat for his first 12 freebie slams. They may even turn out to be better , we don’t know yet.

The key difference is how the big 3 performed against one another. Djokovic has dominated all his rivals since 2011.

How much you willing to bet?
All it takes is one talented youngster with his head put together, and all these jokers are finished.

I might have defaulted him. No room for that in tennis.

I AGREE! His attitude is a shame, as he has a great game style, IMO.
