Stefanos Tsitsipas
Tsitsipas was the closest thing his generation had to a Federer heir, and he beat Federer himself at the 2019 Australian Open on the way to the semis. He won the ATP Finals that year, then reached Slam finals at Roland-Garros in 2021 and Melbourne in 2023, losing both to Djokovic. The 2021 final hurts most, because he led by two sets. His three Monte-Carlo titles show what the backhand does on slow clay when he has time to set up. He's won 13 titles and reached a career high of 3.

Stats verified September 2026 — active players have an inconvenient habit of winning more titles when I'm not looking.
A big, looping swing shaped a lot like Federer's, gorgeous on slow clay and vulnerable when opponents keep the ball high to it
