Hello!
What happened to Berrettini against Rinderknech?
I tried to watch the match, but all I saw was
Berrettini walking out of the court with one
shoe missing. He had retired.
Did he twist his ankle or what?

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/tennis/matteo-berrettini-us-open-tennis-30836704
"Former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini
is out of the US Open after retiring with a
painful-looking injury during his second-
round match against Arthur Rinderknech."
"Berrettini, 26, was writhing in agony on Court
5 after sustaining an ankle injury. The Italian
was already a set and a break down (4-6, 3-5)
when play was ruled a walkover."

Ok, suit yourself. I truly couldn't care less about
Berrettini. What's the point of watching a player
with so many weaknesses be crushed by Djokovic time
and time again?
He doesn't even make it interesting. At least
with Alcaraz, we have somebody who challenges
Djokovic!

To me, Berrettini is one dimensional: serve and FH power. You can credit
him with surprising mobility *for a man his size*, but relative to other
top players he lacks mobility.
In a way he's a lot like Phillipousis.
He seems like a cheerful enough guy, however, FWIW.

Plenty of free time? Retired?
Yeah good call, he's very similar to Flip. Both guys are too heavy and
thus injury prone to be really elite level champs.

You sometimes see very good battles on the Challenger
Tour. And I have witnessed mamy players who made it
to the main tour, the latest one maybe was Tomas
Martin Etcheverry.

Top 10. He reached #6 in the age where Djokovic and Nadal
were still active. That is a great achievement considering
how weak his backhand is.
For the most part, Berrettini seems to use slice BH. HisHis BH is not an offensive weapon under any circumstance. It is usually
topspin BH has gotten better, but is not good by any means.
He also made it to the Wimbledon final. If I remember
right, he won the first set against Djoker, but was
then beaten pretty comfortably by the GOAT.

If I may ask: what are you studying, kk?
Sometimes I think of doing that, just for
something useful to do.

Let's say that I did some serious IT work
for two decades and grew tired of it. Now it is
time for me to do something else.

Studying need not be formal. You do not have to
enter a school in order to study. You can study
online if you find good, reliable sources.

I'm not a Djokovic fan. I was a Federer fan(although I'm not a deluded fan) but yes, I only like to watch the greatest players and match-ups that challenge the greatest players. I don't like to watch >one-sided pastings.
Give me Djokovic-Alcaraz these days. Is there a better match-up currently?
