Jozef Kovalik's Game Style
Server
Low
By winning on average 30% less points than his rivals with aces/service winner, Jozef Kovalik can't be regarded as a Server. He opts more for a percentage first serve (65% of first serve in).
Puncher
High
Jozef Kovalik is a dominating Puncher who gets the biggest edge against his rivals by making more points than them with the forehand. The way he Punches is rather flat close to the baseline, like this we can say that he Punches in a Tempo way.
Tempo Player
Medium-high
Playing rather close to the baseline with Pace, Jozef Kovalik also plays in Tempo. However, when compared with his opponents, he only takes an edge with the forehand. Usually, a Tempo player gets better results than his rivals with the backhand but this is not his case.
Offensive Player
Medium
18% of Jozef Kovalik's points are won at the net (with or without a volley to play) and this results stand just above the general average of the ATP players. He mainly uses the forehand approach and that gives him an Offensive side to his game.
