Plays: Right-handed, with a one-handed backhand.

Greatest Strengths: Brilliant shotmaker, with exceptional versatility, touch, and accuracy, especially on the forehand. Capable of great power on groundstrokes and very good power on serves, with excellent placement.

Movement extremely quick and smooth. Comfortable on every part of the court. Smart, calm, and increasingly confident.

Room for Improvement:
No major weaknesses. A more powerful serve would provide more easy points, although his placement often does the job. Roger finds high backhands difficult, as does almost everyone. His sharpness often wanes for a while during a match, but he usually restores it when he needs to.
