It's so implicit that you didn't need to mention it, but I will: Berrettini will be more vunerable should he come up against a player such as you describe, or even slightly weaker, and *not* have a solid serving day. One never knows...
I wonder if the grass is different between Queens and Wimbledon. It's a shame tennis does not have something like golf's Stimpmeter, by which the golf tours measure the speed of the greens. (Perhaps the ITF has it and we're not aware of it, in which case I'll suggest it should be made more well known.)
One other thing: it's a good thing Berrettini sports a beard. See him in person and imagine him without it and you'd think he was a 6'5" toddler. Such a baby face raining down serve bombs.
Great content per usual. Any chance with the level of tournaments we have this week we will get some sort of power ranking from your for Wimbledon on both tours?

Great post, thanks.

Wld like Matteo to succeed but Norrie showed the Italian’s vulnerabilities on BH, FH under pressure and TB nerves. Yes, a fav, but not a given
Ugo also played very well, returned brilliantly and had a far better BH than Matteo. I hope you saw him
