Why UTS1 Day 7 closing match is one not to miss
Stefanos Tsitsipas lost his previous encounter versus a Top-10 player against Dominic Thiem. The Greek God holds another chance to prove his divine powers when facing off Matteo Berrettini this Saturday.
Can the Hammer inflict mortal damage on the Greek God? That’s the question that will soon be answered as the top two players in the UTS rankings get ready to square off in a mouthwatering clash.
Berrettini could have the edge, as he prevailed over Gasquet in another clash at the top last weekend. Tsitsipas won their only previous meeting – at last year’s Australian Open – but since then Berrettini has become a top-10 player in his own right.
The Hammer showed reputations mean nothing to him and though Tsitsipas has been the UTS alpha dog so far, he knows Berrettini can take the match out of his hands. His mix of powershots and aggressiveness could make the UTS leader fall to Earth. A divine way to test the real powers of the Greek God.
