Taylor Fritz vs Matteo Berrettini Head-to-Head Stats, Results & Performance Comparison

In the land of second serves, Berrettini prances around like a maestro, winning a whopping 52.01% of points in recent form, while Fritz, it seems, has been serving up second-helpings to opponents, cashing in a mere 45.98%. So, if you're placing your bets on second serve prowess, you'd probably give the edge to Berrettini. But fret not, Fritz fans; the return game tells a slightly different tale. Fritz has snatched 44.11% of his opponents' second serve points recently, whereas Berrettini is close behind at 43.31%.

The complex world of first serve returns has Berrettini and Fritz in a neck-and-neck race; they're practically twins with stats, winning 20.02% and 20.36% respectively. Meanwhile, if we peek into the Land of Breakpoints—a place of pure tennis drama—Berrettini has been skillfully deflecting 64.2% of them, while Fritz, slightly less Houdini-like, has saved 53.3%.

As we saunter over to the match win percentages over the past year, Berrettini struts his 70.69%—a record rivaled only by Fritz who is a breath away at 70.13%. Both seem to fancy grass and hard surfaces in their careers. Berrettini is a veritable lawnmower on grass, with a win rate of 79%, though he seems to find indoor hard courts a bit... slippery, managing a paltry 55%. Fritz, on the other hand, is king of the Hard Kingdom, ruling with a 66% win rate while doing not-too-shabby-with-occasional-wobbles at 58% on indoor hard surfaces.

The towering tale of head-to-head matches, however, paints a different picture. Fritz seems to have taken permanent residence in Berrettini's mind, winning 4 out of 4 encounters, 9 sets to 1. One must take note that during their historical duel at the U.S. Open, Fritz nearly bored the crowd to sleepy admiration as he craftily outplayed Berrettini 6-3, 7-6(1), 6-1. Those matches, with their average duration of 2:1:12, leave Berrettini pondering how to crack the code, perhaps drinking plenty of espresso.

Yet, in that rarefied air of deciding sets and tie-breaks, Berrettini has had no luck against Fritz, losing the only deciding-set and four tie-breaks they played. Across the wider fields of Tennisland though, Berrettini does stumble, winning 53% of his nerve-wracking deciding sets, Friedrich Fritz naturally ekes out a few more at 63%.

Before we ride away into the tennis sunset, let's not forget Fritz has shown his sharpness by converting 29.41% of his breakpoint opportunities, while Berrettini trails at 25.27%. If match commentary rises into a crescendo over breakpoints, perhaps this might predict today's victor. In a twist worthy of a tale, when the final racket has swung, the stats lead to one prediction. Taking into account their existing rivalry and form, Fritz gallops ahead as the favorite to emerge victorious.
