Sebastien Grosjean's Game Style
Server
Medium-low
Sebastien Grosjean's strategy was to take risk on his first serve to increase his ratio of unreturned. Like that and despite his size he wasn't too much dominated with that shot against his rivals.
Puncher
Medium-low
Sebastien Grosjean was a dominant Puncher. His main shot was the forehand and he was really effective when he run around the backhand to hit it. The forehand return was also one of his main weapon. Usually effective returns are played close to the baseline with Tempo but Sebastien Grosjean was Punching it on the second serve return.
Tempo Player
Medium-low
As a rather short player, Sebastien Grosjean was comfortable taking the ball on the rise with the backhand. However, his game style was much more to run around the backhand as a Puncher.
Offensive Player
Medium
When Sebastien Grosjean had a chance, he often followed his Punching forehand to the net. In his case, we can say that he was sometimes a Punching/Offensive player.
