Mario Ancic's Game Style

Server

Very high

Mario Ancic was a dominant Server. His biggest edge against his rivals was taken with the Serve making on average 60% more points than them with that shot. When his first serve was in 54% of the time it was unreturned.

Puncher

Very high

From the back of the court, Mario Ancic was a Puncher. When compared with his rivals, he made on average 15% more points than them with the forehand. Possessing such a big serve it was on his first forehand after it that he was the most effective. However, when the baseline rallies extended he was then dominated with the forehand by his opponents.

Tempo Player

Low

Even though Mario Ancic played rather close to his baseline he could not be regarded as a Tempo player. His backhand got results below average and this shot is usually the best of the Tempo players.

Offensive Player

Medium

Mario Ancic cannot be regarded as an Offensive player but he could still win points coming in. In total, 12% of his points were won at the net (with or without a volley to play) and this result was in the average of the ATP players.

Retriever

Low

Winning only 34% of his points by the errors of his rivals, Mario Ancic was not a Retriever at all. His Serve was too big and he was too aggressive with his forehand to count on his opponents' mistakes to win a match.
