Tennys Sandgren's Game Style
Tennys Sandgren's Serve results are just above the average of the ATP players. This shot can help him to win matches but against the best Servers on tour he makes less aces/service winners than them.
Tennys Sandgren doesn't only Retrieve from the back of the court, he can also Punch with the forehand. However, this is mainly when he follows the forehand to the net that this shot becomes really effective.
Tennys Sandgren can't be regarded as a Tempo player. He doesn't really play close to the baseline, the backhand is more played with Punch than taking the ball on the rise and the return results are below average.
Offensive Player
Medium-high
Even though 22% of his total points are won at the net (and not more) Tennys Sandgren can be regarded as an Offensive player because he can do many things on a tennis court. His favorite ways to come in are the 1-2 punch approach and the baseline approach. At the net, he possesses a very good hand and misses only 25% of his volleys.
When compared with his rivals, Tennys Sandgren wins 20% less points with the forehand than them. It means that he Retrieves slightly more with this shot than he Punches. In total 43% of his points are won by the errors of his rivals and this result stands in the average of the ATP players.
