Matteo Berrettini vs Dominic Thiem: Preview

Matteo Berrettini

Seeded 2nd Matteo Berrettini was out with hand surgery and had to skip the entire clay season and then returned for the grass season and got off to a solid start. He won the very first tournament he played in after his comeback and won the Stuttgart Open. He got his hands on the second title at the Queen’s Club Championships. Despite being the runners-up at Wimbledon last year he had to withdraw from the tournament this year after testing positive for COVID-19. He started the Swiss Open on a high picking up crucial victories against Richard Gasquet and also beat Pedro Martinez from a set down and ended the match with a 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-1 win to register his place in the semis.

On the other hand, Dominic Thiem was out of the tennis court for about nine months due to an unfortunate wrist injury he suffered at the 2021 Mallorca Championships. He cameback at the Marbella Tennis Challenger in the start of the year but got knocked out in the first-round and since then have failed to regain his form having lost in the first round in eight successive tournaments. He finaly found his form back at the Nordea Open after picking up wins over Emil Ruusuvuori and Pablo Carreno Busta on his run to the quarterfinals finally getting knocked out by Sebastian Baez. Thiem has looked a complete different player in the ongoing Swiss Open registering wins over Hugo Gaston in the first round, Federico Delbonis in the round of 16 and Juan Pablo Varillas in the last match at the quarter finals which took him t o his first semifinal in nearly 14 months.

Berrettini has beaten Thiem thrice and Thiem has beaten Berrettini twice in the five matches they have played against each other.

Dominic Thiem

Berrettini will go in as the favorite to win the match given his form and superior ranking. He is one of the best players in the world and has proving himself on clay before although he is more or less an all-court player. Expect a good match with Berrettini moving into the next round.

Prediction: Berrettini to win in three sets.
