Greg Rusedski's Game Style
Server
Very high
Possessing a huge Serve, Greg Rusedski was a dominating Server. When compared with the rivals, he made on average 30% more aces/service winners than them. The Serve was by far his best shot and he optimized his game around it by playing most of the time the serve & volley.
Puncher
Very high
Greg Rusedski didn't spend enough time form the back of the court to be regarded as a Puncher with a big forehand. Only 11% of his points were won with that shot (far below average) and these points were mainly won with forehand pass.
Tempo Player
Very low
With a single-handed backhand and using the slice a lot, Greg Rusedski was anything but a Tempo player. This kind of player is really effective with the backhand and return that they take on the rise close to the baseline.
Offensive Player
Very high
Playing the serve & volley most of the time, Greg Rusedski wasn't only a Server he also was an Offensive player. In total 52% of his points were won when he played the serve & volley and this result stands far above the general average of the ATP players. Otherwise, as soon as he had a chance on his return game he would come in from the back of the court.
