He has done nothing except receive allot of wildcards due to being coached at moroutoglou’s. Always be a question mark about him for me until he starts putting a few winning runs together. And gets somewhere near the top 50. He’s been hyped up for years. The ATP has spent a phenomenal amount of money painting tsitsipas, zverev, Medvedev as the next gen to try and stop the sports popularity waning when Nadal Federer djokovic (Murray) retire. They’re not going to start watering their new brand down by painting a new set as the next next gen, so eventually his hype will reach a wall that only results will break through. And then we’ll see whether he’s anything, but there have been players who done alot more by his age (that’s the thing that’s really stood out for me about him, the past two years all he has done is post clips on Instagram of his forehand. In that time lots of 18yr olds have broken into the tour with an exciting splash
looks like a Gravity pro?
in the last tournement he played with a blacked out racquet as well as a pure strike looking racquet so it seems he is trying some different racquets out
What a difference a year makes, Gareth.
