Who has a better overall forehand: Tsitsipas or Wawrinka?

[zill]

Lets say peak Tsitsipas forehand vs peak Wawrinka forehand. Both forehands are similar as in relatively compact and powerful.

They played once in a tight match. Both showed huge forehands.

 

[mike danny]

Still gonna say Wawrinka. His FH simply packs more punch.

 

[abmk]

Wawr

yes can really see that in this match.

 

[zagor]

Stan the man.

 

[skaj]

No "equal" option?

 

[socallefty]

During the years that Stan won Slams, he was bullying everyone from the baseline with his FH and BH including Nadal and Djokovic. He was one of the few players who could make an in-form Djokovic lose patience from the baseline on both clay and hard courts. I have not seen Tsitsipas do that with his FH yet.

 

[RaulRamirez]

Have we seen Tsitsipas' peak (anything) yet? I think that, already, his FH is more versatile, but when Stan is on, his is more devastating. Kind of a toss-up, and need to see how Tsit develops - just 22.

Fognini

 

[Cabeza del Demonio]

Stan has more power, no doubt, but Stefanos hits with more accuracy, disguise, and controls the court better with that shot. He's only 22 right now and has quite a career ahead of him, but it's already a world class shot and I believe he can still develop it into one of the most feared shots in tennis history by a few years' time.

of course Tsistipas. Wawrinka forehand is madeup shot, it used to really suck but his coach fixed it up to be decent

What did his coach do to fix it ?

 

[daggerman]

I'll take Wawrinka's if they both have time (slower court and/or less depth/pace), Tsitsipas' if they don't have as much time (faster court and/or more depth/pace).

Stan’s RG15 performance final is what made me choose his FH over Tsits.

what the hell is a peak Tsitsipas forehand?

 

[Red Rick]

what the hell is a peak Tsitsipas forehand?

A good, aggressive shot that isn't particularly memorable in it's own and won't make any top 10 lists either?

Sysy isn't here so we can trash it all we like actually.

Fiction

 

[BeatlesFan]

Tsitsipas still has time to evolve his FH, which is a solid shot right now. Peak level FH between he and Stan though?

Stan.

 

[ChaelAZ]

My man Stan for sure. It's a weapon.

 

[zagor]

It's not like Tsits doesn't need time too.
