The problem isn't the fact that he has a one handed backhand, the problem is the way he plays it. The most of the times he hits that backhand having his weight on his left leg, contrary to what the players with the best one handed backhands do, and it is not possible to play that way with nowadays rithym. And even when he has his bodyweight on the right leg he doesn't explode foreward but he goes back away from the impact with his body. That's why he shanks so much on that side, why he doesn't hit that hard and doesn't find many winners with that backhand. If you watch Wawrinka, Gasquet, Roger and also Musetti they always hit the backhand really transfering their weight on that right leg and exploding foreward.

Stefanos is a solid player, but his game is not advancing as others keep moving up and he (Stefanos) is not working to change things.

Tsitsipas legit looked better in 2019 than he does now. Zverev played at a high level until his injury but he's still mentally weak and hasn't figured out the second serve. Still plays passive a lot of times when he has all the tools to be a power player. The tour has moved on and these two have only gotten worse since 2021.

Completely disagree with your take on Zverev. If you follow his game closely and not just see the highlights/results, he is actually more complete compared to himself 2-3 years ago. Technique-wise, his forehand is much better now and he is also willing to improve his volley when his baseline movement declines due to his injury. Even though he is not yet at his pre-injury level, his improvement rate is high and it's just a matter of time until he becomes a big threat again. Tsitsipas on the other hand, yeah, I can't see any major improvement in his game.

A few things to note after watching: 1. Totally agree that a big factor in Tsitsipas dropping off is due to Alcaraz destroying him on his favourite surface. It must really kill the confidence knowing his opponent is simply levels above him. 2. I disagree that Tsitsipas was the best player on hard courts behind the big 3 and Medvedev 1-2 years ago. I'd definitely put Zverev above him, especially 2 years ago. Tsitsipas has a terrible record at the US Open and he's never won a Masters on hard either.His only big title on hard court is the ATP Finals. He's basically just good in Australia and sometimes Cincinnati. 3. Don't think Tsitsipas's decline related to losing ambition from "many years of success". He hasn't even won a slam. If he has lost ambition, it's because he's realised that other players have caught up and he's no longer in the elite tier group of players. He's simply not in the equation in any slam contender discussions. We all know he had very high expectations of himself a while back with all that "I'll dethrone the Big 3" talk.

i saw tsitsipas win his first big match live in toronto against djokovic. looking back, i was shocked to see such an aggressive and versatile young player with a one handed backhand. i truly believed during the 2021 season that he had developed enough and would go on to win a slam, but his past two seasons have been duds ~after the clay season. in my eyes, there are clear reasons for his decline--awful slice, terrible return, backhand that gets outclassed by nearly anyone, and poor mentality. everyone in the current top 10 has a solid backhand other than stef and tiafoe; most have the best backhands in the world. that being said, he's had a fine career: two masters, two slam finals, atp finals champ, and competitive h2hs against most of the next gen. he can remain around the lower portion of the top 10 and maybe have a few deep runs here and there. if he improves drastically he will be competitive for a slam, but otherwise this is where he will remain. blaming badosa for this is ridiculous (many other top players are dating and he has had these problems even before her). you can't attribute his downfall to her without also citing her for the positives. if he wants to devote his time to her, that's fine. he can still play tennis and improve if he wants to.

I think Patrick Mouratoglou is at the root of a lot of his problems. There was an interview with Patrick here on youtube where he said he didn't like to teach players variety in case they "lost" their A Game. It was just astonishing nonsense and explains a lot of why Stef can't hit a consistent slice backhand. Patrick M's philosophy also seems to have limited Stef's tennis inteligence. Before Stef was beaten in straight sets by Medvedev at the Australian Open a few years, he said in his press conference that he "just needed to play his game better". Mats Wilander was commentating for Eurosport and he was absolutely scathing. He said that any intelligent player knows that sometimes playing "your own game" is the worst possible thing you can do. You sometimes have to play to your opponent's weaknesses rather than your own strengths. Wilander said that Medvedev loved Stef's usual game which is why he almost always won. And that's exactly what happened. Stef didn't seem to have any idea or any ability to change his strategy.

He got to a ten player with less effort than others, due to athletic ability and the dedication of family. His biggest problem has been always patience and concentration during games and training, which do not improve over time. He is now seen as the ATP's clown and lollipop. He has unfounded self-confidence and ignores the advice of others. When his growth as a player did not go as planned, he impulsively started a relationship with a woman similar character ahead of the slam, and the entire process was a matter of his bad choice and careless personality. Dozens of more promising players were forgotten like that. Djokovic sacrificed everything for tennis, including himself and his family, to be the best player; The physical, technical, and mental training of today's ATP players dedicate higher intensity and much more time unimaginable to players 20 years ago. As players comparable to Alcaraz continue to be produced every season, it is difficult to expect better performance for a player in his mid-20s.

What drove him in his teens and early 20's is not a good enough motivator anymore because he seemingly doesn't need those things to feel great about himself anymore.

Plus I think hes second biggest problem is that he hasnt got a decent slice which makes his backhand even more attackable. Look at Federer: whenever he didnt feel his backhand yet in a match he could totally rely on his slice which was arguably the best one in history. I tell you: Tsitsipas with a decent slice would have got to no. 1 as well as he'd have one or even more Grand Slam titles.

IMO his backhand has deteriorated a lot compared to what it used to be. There used to be more penetration and pace through the court but now there seems to be just topspin, which gives a lot of bounce on the ball but good players can attack it very easily. It just seems like to me that compared to other great one handed backhands his arm is just to close to his body leading to less rotation and having to rely on his wrist action more, rather than pace through body rotation like stan or roger. He has to change this, otherwise the backhand will never be a winning, reliable shot. He has to pull a roger 2017 edition and give it more pace through the court.

I think Stefanos sneaks one and only one. He did just make the AO final, it's clear he can at least come within sniffing distance and maybe he finds a matchup in the final one day that goes reasonably all right for him.

And how would anyone have reacted if he’d said that he was? The lad can’t win either way, can he? Still, could be worse, he could be one of those players who repeats the same old dull sports clichés at every presser, I.e. “I fought for every point,” “I gave it 110%,” or “I just focused on one point at time.” Far more exciting to watch players like this, thinking “Come on Stef, make my day say something absolutely mental!”

Coco pulled off having the daddy coach because the top women aren't as competitive as the top men. If Djokovic, Alcaraz and Medvedev didn't exist, Tsitsipas would have great chances to win many big titles even despite his mediocre bh and subpar daddy coach, because he is hella talented. But, those 3 are much much better than Swiatek or Sabalenka, and guys like Sinner, Rune or Hurkacz are much stronger and more regular than girls like Jabeur, Pegula or Rybakina. Tsitsipas has to understand he really NEEDS a coach that can help him take his bh to the next level, otherwise he will always have a ceiling in terms of competitiveness. He needs to stop being brainwashed by his daddy, and sack him. Look at Zverev, he didn't want to work with Ferrero and kept working with daddy, then Ferrero goes to Alcaraz and makes him a star. The daddy coach syndrome needs to stop, not everybody is like the Williams' sisters.

Stefanos needs to completely separate from his father in every way, other than just the father son relationship. He should not have him as coach. He should not live at home with him or near him. He needs to move away and find a new coaching staff for himself. He needs to grow up. He’s a bit of a baby.

I agree with you. I believe that his single hand backhand is too predictable which means that most opponents already know where he’s gonna hit the ball most of the time and that’s usually cross court. So without fixing that major flaw in his game I don’t think he will ever win a major championship unless somehow everything works out perfectly in his favor in terms of the draw.

IF he were to win a Grand Slam title, it would realistically be either the Australian Open or U.S. Open. A LOT of things would have to go right: he would have to play his best tennis, a lot of seeded players in his quarter of the draw would have to lose early while he wins, he has to be in a good to excellent mental state, and he would have to improve his backhand to the level of Stan Wawrinka. But I see him as one of those players in the category of "best players to have never won a Grand Slam title."

his 1 hand backhand is almost berettini two hander equivalent (perhaps not as bad). he will never be a dominant player with such a targetable and easy weakness. Additionally, no slice is another serious issue that limits his variety. also his attitude. when things go wrong he's very unlikeable, doesn't take enough accountability, makes excuses, and talks down the opponent that has just beat him.

Imo he should work on developing a very good slice, like Dimitrov for example. Then it’ll be very hard to attack off it and can also use it to set up his forehand, like Fed used to do, and to return better of the bh. I can see him having a game like Dimi but with (much) better forehand and serve if he improves his slice.

Everything said is absolutely on point, every single thing. His backhand is bad, it's always the target for players, and it's very well known that two handed backhand is just more superior to one handed, we've seen Roger and his backhand getting progressively worse trought his career, I don't think it's gonna be any different for Tsitsipas. Also, I don't know the guy, but he seems very egoistical, firing your HC just weeks after hiring him is a nonsense, it's a journey, there needs to be steps for success, it can't come immidiately. Idk, I personaly don't like Tsitsipas at all, he is very dislikable, but he has the game to be a winner, just not the right mentality

The 2 main problems of his tennis are big ones and they'll be hard to get rid of. The backhand is very bad compared to his competition, it's probably the worst backhand in the top50. And the slice backhand is the cherry on top, he'll never be able to get a good consistent defense with an open stance slice backhand. And the second one is his dad. Maybe he's got good reasons to stay with his dad, but it's for sure holding him back.

Athletes need opinions like yours, to add fuel to their tank and fight back toxicity. Coco is a great example. Tsitsipas might be off focus for a few reasons HE only knows. Let him show what he is capable of, giving us the best version of himslef. Roger, transformed his worst shot, backhand, to a weapon, once he dealt how to handle heavy balls. His backhand slice stayed low. Tsitsipas needs to learn from this. He needs to improve this shot, cause his slice is weak, floats alot and gives time to the opponent.
