Frances Tiafoe's Game Style

Server

Medium

In his artillery Frances Tiafoe can also count on an effective Serve. He makes on average the same ratio of aces/service winners than his rivals. It means that he is dominated with that shot against the best servers but can get an edge against the other ones.

Puncher

Medium-high

Frances Tiafoe is a mix of some Profiles. From the back of the court, he can be a Puncher with an effective forehand. When he has a chance, he often runs around the backhand to hit a topspin forehand. The forehand big take back is also much more the one of a Puncher than a Tempo player.

Tempo Player

Medium-high

Frances Tiafoe can also play in Tempo close to the baseline with the backhand. When he does so he gets excellent results, even better than with the forehand. Like this, we can say that Frances Tifaoe's Tempo backhand is a bit underrated.

Offensive Player

Medium

13% of Frances Tiafoe's points are won at the net (with or without a volley to play) and this result stands in the general average of the ATP players. H knows when he has to move forward to get en edge but doesn't do it enough to be regarded as a dominent Offensive player.

Retriever

Medium

Frances Tiafoe does't really count on his rivals' errors to win a match but he is still comfortable with the baseline rallies extend. He can Retrieve with Punch with the forehand and with pace with the backhand. He is also an excellent counterpuncher on the backhand side.
