Casper Ruud's Game Style

Server

Medium

Casper Ruud as an average Serve. His ratio of aces/service winners is below average (29%) but given that he is a clay court specialist and opts for a high first serve percentage (66%), this number is good.

Puncher

High

Casper Ruud's game style is a mix between a Retriever and a Puncher. It mainly depends on the type of player he faces. He would be more a Retriever against an aggressive player and a Puncher versus a defensive one. In total, 23% of his points won are won with the topspin forehand and this result is above average of the ATP.

Tempo Player

Medium-low

Casper Ruud cannot be regarded as a Tempo player at all. As soon as he has a chance, he runs around his backhand to hit a forehand. Besides, his global backhand numbers are below average. Casper Ruud is not that kind of player who constantly takes the ball on the rise close to his baseline.

Offensive Player

Medium-low

Winning 11% of his total points at the net (with or without a volley to play) Casper Ruud cannot be regarded as an Offensive player. However, lately he has been working on that part of his game.

Retriever

High

Casper Ruud's game style is a mix between a dominant Retriever and a dominant Puncher. It means that from the back of the court, his main strengths is the topspin forehand and he uses that shot to wear his rivals down but also to attack. However, when compared with his rivals, he takes a bigger edge with his forehand making fewer unforced errors than more winners/forcing errors than them. In total, 46% of his points are won by the errors of his rivals and this number is above the average of the ATP players.
