Fabio Fognini's Game Style

Server

Low

When compared with his rivals, Fabio Fognini is strongly dominated by his rivals with the Serve making 40% fewer aces/service winners and 80% more double faults. As a consequence, he is nothing but a Server and will have to win his matches from the back of the court.

Puncher

High

Fabio Fognini is a dominant Puncher who makes on average 30% more points with the topspin forehand than his rivals. On that side, the danger can come in any directions and at any time in the rallye (short, medium & long).

Tempo Player

Medium

Fabio Fognini cannot be regarded as a Tempo player but he still wins points with the backhand according to average. He is comfortable taking the ball on the rise close to his baseline with the backhand but he will be still more effective with the inside ou & inside in forehand.

Offensive Player

Medium-high

Fabio Fognini is one of the best in the business when he moves forward (Offensive). His volley stats are excellent when he plays the 1-2 punch right after his serve or the baseline approach. However, only 14% of his points are won at the net and this result stands in the average and not above.

Retriever

High

Besides Punching his rivals, Fabio Fognini also wears them down on their backhand. Despite a high ratio of backhand errors he still makes fewer errors on that side than his rivals and this is mainly because of his forehand that he uses to wear his oppnents's backhand down. In total, 48% of his points are won by his rivals' errors and this result is above the average of the ATP players.
