Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In their head-to-head series, Marton Fucsovics from Hungary and Matteo Berrettini from Italy are tied at 1-1. They have faced each other in three meetings so far.

Their first encounter took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, on a hard court surface. Fucsovics managed to win the match after a tough battle, with a score of 5-7, 7-5, 6-3.

Their second meeting occurred at Wimbledon in Great Britain, on the grass court. This time, Berrettini emerged victorious in a four-set match, with a score of 7-6(3), 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.

Their only other encounter happened in Irving, USA, during a Challenger tournament on a hard court surface. Berrettini won this match comfortably, defeating Fucsovics with a score of 6-3, 6-4.

Marton Fucsovics, aged 32, is currently ranked at No. 88 in the world. His highest career ranking was No. 31, which he achieved in 2019. He has had mixed results in 2024, with a record of 13-15. However, he did manage to secure a title in Bucharest. In Vienna, he has a win-loss record of 3-3, with a quarterfinal appearance in 2018.

Fucsovics has had notable achievements in his career. In 2018, he won his first ATP Tour title at the Geneva Open, defeating the two-time defending champion Stan Wawrinka. This victory made him the first Hungarian champion since Balázs Taróczy in 1982. Fucsovics also won a title in Bucharest in 2024.

Furthermore, Fucsovics made history at Wimbledon in 2021 by becoming the first Hungarian male quarterfinalist since József Asbóth in 1948. He achieved this by rallying for a five-set victory over No. 7 seed Andrey Rublev. Fucsovics has also reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam on three other occasions, including a win over then-No. 5 Daniil Medvedev at the 2020 French Open, which ended his 0-14 record against top 10 players.

As a junior, Fucsovics reached the pinnacle of the world rankings by winning the Wimbledon boys’ singles title in 2010 without dropping a set.

It is worth noting that Fucsovics is aiming to break a six-match losing streak against top 50 players on hard court surfaces. His last victory against a top 50 player on this type of court was against No. 24 Jan-Lennard Struff in the Davis Cup back in February. Fucsovics did, however, achieve a significant indoor win against No. 15 Fabio Fognini in Vienna, reaching the quarterfinals in 2018 before falling to Mikhail Kukushkin.

On the other hand, Matteo Berrettini, aged 28, is currently ranked at No. 41 in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 6 after reaching the semifinals of the 2022 Australian Open. He is the third-highest-ranked Italian player in the PIF ATP Rankings era, which dates back to 1973. The highest-ranked Italian is Jannik Sinner at No. 1 in 2024, followed by Adriano Panatta at No. 4 in 1976.

Berrettini made history at Wimbledon in 2021 by becoming the first Italian male singles finalist in the tournament’s history and the first Italian Grand Slam finalist since Panatta at the 1976 French Open. He is also the first Italian male player to reach the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events. Another milestone for him was winning a match at the Nitto ATP Finals, defeating Dominic Thiem in the round-robin stage in 2019.

Grass seems to be Berrettini’s preferred surface, as he has an impressive record of 42 wins and 11 losses on this surface. He has won four of his ten ATP Tour titles on grass, including back-to-back victories at the London/Queen’s Club in 2021 and 2022. He became the first player in the Open Era to win titles in each of his first two appearances at that event.

Berrettini has also achieved significant wins in team competitions. He defeated Thiem, who was ranked No. 3 at the time, during the 2021 ATP Cup, and he defeated Casper Ruud, also ranked No. 3 at the time, during the 2023 United Cup.

In Vienna, Berrettini has made two previous appearances. He reached the semifinals in 2019, where he fell to the eventual champion Dominic Thiem, and the quarterfinals in 2021, where he was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz. Additionally, he has an impressive record of 14 wins and 1 loss against players ranked outside the top 50 since Wimbledon. However, it is worth mentioning that his one loss came to No. 317 Swiss player, Henri Laaksonen, in Stockholm just last week.
