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.
