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.
