In the news

““I think that these matches like today against these guys are showing me that there is still big, big, big room for improvement.””

How they play

Playing style

Aggressive baseline player with powerful serve and forehand as primary weapons, excelling on fast hard courts where he dictates with flat, penetrating groundstrokes and high first-serve percentage. Solid two-handed backhand adds depth; tactical intelligence allows adaptation, but thrives when imposing serve and forehand pressure to shorten points.

Serve
Big first serve averaging 7+ aces per match with 73% points won; strong second serve at 52% success. Uses placement and power effectively, rarely broken (unbroken through Miami 2026 semis).
Groundstrokes
Forehand weapon with 79 mph average speed, heavy topsin (2900+ rpm), clean technique via compact takeback and leg drive. Backhand consistent for depth; both generate shot quality above tour average.
Movement
Explosive lower-body power enables quick court coverage and recoveries; strong legs support direction changes. Performs well across surfaces but prefers faster hard and grass over heavy clay.
Weakness
Return game generates low break chances (19% return games won); struggles against top servers. Injury history, especially back, and 35% vs Top 20 record expose consistency issues in prolonged rallies on slow clay.
