Prajnesh Gunneswaran's Game Style

Server

High

Prajnesh Gunneswaran has an excellent lefty serve. When compared with his rivals, this is by far with this shot that he takes his biggest edge. He makes on average more aces/service winners and less double faults than them.

Puncher

High

Prajnesh Gunneswaran is a dominant Puncher. When compared with his rivals he makes on average 30% more points & errors with the forehand than them. From the back of the court this is really with this shot that makes him win or lose a match.

Tempo Player

Medium-low

Even though Prajnesh Gunneswaran's backhand is played rather flat in Tempo close to the baseline, this shot is not effective enough to be the one of a Tempo player. He is much more a Puncher that runs around his backhand than a Tempo player taking the ball on the rise.

Offensive Player

Medium-low

Prajnesh Gunneswaran is more effective with the forehand approach than at the net with his volley. He can't be regarded as an Offensive player because he doesn't come in enough.

Retriever

Medium

From the back of the court, Prajnesh Gunneswaran doesn't only Punch but he can also Retrieve. Against aggressive opponents, he is forced to be more defensive on the forehand side and in that case he can be a Retriever sometimes.
