Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Match: Matteo Berrettini (ITA) vs [PR] Dominic Stricker (SUI)
Date: 14-20 October 2024
Location: Kungliga Tennishallen, Stockholm, Sweden
Matteo Berrettini is a 28-year-old Italian player who is currently ranked number 42 in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of number 6 after reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 Australian Open. This made him the third-highest-ranked Italian player since the PIF ATP Rankings began in 1973, with Jannik Sinner currently holding the number 1 spot in 2024 and Adriano Panatta ranked number 4 in 1976.
At the 2021 Wimbledon tournament, Berrettini made history by becoming the first Italian men’s singles finalist. This also marked the first time an Italian player had reached the final of a Grand Slam men’s singles event since Panatta at the 1976 Roland Garros. In addition, Berrettini holds the distinction of being the first Italian man to reach the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events and the first to secure a win at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2019, where he defeated Dominic Thiem. He has a remarkable record on grass, with a 42-11 win-loss ratio, and has won four of his ten ATP Tour titles on this surface. His victories at the 2021 and 2022 London/Queen’s Club events made him the first player in the Open Era to win titles in both of their first two appearances at the tournament. Berrettini’s biggest wins of his career include defeating number 3 ranked Thiem at the 2021 ATP Cup team final and defeating number 3 ranked Casper Ruud to reach the 2023 United Cup team final.
Berrettini aims to maintain his flawless record against lower-ranked players this season, having won all 17 matches against lower-ranked opponents. He is looking to reach his fifth quarterfinal of the season and his first on hard courts since the Acapulco tournament in February 2023. Berrettini also boasts a strong record in tie-breaks this season, with an 18-6 win-loss record.
On the other side of the net, we have Dominic Stricker, a 22-year-old Swiss player currently ranked number 317 in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of number 88 in October 2023, shortly after defeating number 7 ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas, which marked the biggest win of his career. Stricker also reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam event for the first time at the 2023 US Open. He qualified for the Next Gen ATP Finals in both 2022 and 2023 but fell in the semifinals to Michael Lehecka and Hamad Medjedovic, respectively.
Stricker has had notable performances in ATP Tour events. He advanced to the quarterfinals in his debut at the 2021 Geneva tournament as a wildcard. He also reached the quarterfinals as a wildcard at the 2021 Stuttgart tournament and the 2023 Basel tournament, where he defeated number 8 ranked Casper Ruud in the second round. Stricker made history as the youngest Swiss player to win a match in Basel since Roger Federer accomplished the same feat at the age of 19 in 2000. He captured his first Challenger title at the 2021 Lugano tournament in just his second appearance.
In the junior circuit, Stricker beat Dominic Riedi in the first-ever all-Swiss boys’ singles final at the 2020 Roland Garros tournament. He also won the boys’ doubles title with Luciano Cobolli, becoming the first player since Fernando Gonzalez in 1998 to sweep both titles.
Stricker had a slow start to the 2024 season due to injury and missed the first five months. However, he has shown promising results, including defeating Tomislav Kovacevic in the first round for his second ATP Tour win of the season. Stricker seeks to reach his fourth ATP Tour quarterfinal, with his previous three attempts ending in defeat. His last quarterfinal appearance was at the 2023 Basel tournament, where he secured a victory against number 8 ranked Casper Ruud.
In summary, the upcoming match between Matteo Berrettini and Dominic Stricker in Stockholm will feature an established Italian player with impressive achievements and a rising Swiss player aiming to make his mark on the ATP Tour.
