all behind

Berrettini has won three tournaments on grass in the last four years (twice at Queen’s and once in Stuttgart, the latter also won in Stuttgart in 2019), with a final at Wimbledon in 2021 (where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic) and in Stuttgart, a few weeks ago, where he was beaten by Jack Draper. Behind him in terms of number of victories since 2020 are Alexander Bublik (with 27), Alex de Minaur (25), Daniil Medvedev 24 and Jordan Thompson (22). No Jannik Sinner and Carloz Alcaraz, for the simple fact that they have played few matches on grass (even if the Spaniard won a Wimbledon and the Queen’s last year, successes that earned him “only” 12 victories) and there is not even Novak Djokovic, who, playing only the Championships on grass, has played many fewer matches on this surface in this four-year period than his rivals.

Berrettini has a grass record of 42 wins and 10 losses, results that have already allowed him to become one of the greatest herbivores in the history of tennis. With 80.4% of matches won on grass, he is in tenth place all time in terms of percentage between wins and matches played on this surface, in this special ranking led by the untouchable Roger Federer (86.9%, with 192 wins and 29 losses). Truly incredible numbers from Berrettini, who is now preparing for the second round derby against Jannik Sinner: the world number one has been warned.
