Playing style

Roddick's style is that of an offensive baseliner. In Tennis, a player uses different strategies that both enhance his own strengths and exploit his opponent's weaknesses in order to gain the advantage and win more points Roddick uses powerful forehands and powerful first serve (Usually around 220~240km/h), which he uses to earn free points with aces or put himself into position to hit a forehand winner. For information on the forehand of a horse see Forehand (horse The forehand in Tennis is a shot made by swinging the racquet across one's body A serve (or more formally a service) in Tennis is a shot to start a point. For information on the forehand of a horse see Forehand (horse The forehand in Tennis is a shot made by swinging the racquet across one's body [11] His first serve is known to some as the "Roddick Serve", since he abbreviates the serve by removing part of the motion. [12] He usually targets the two corners to win aces. For his second serve, Roddick usually employs a heavy kick serve, then tries to use a variety of spins, slices, and angles in the rally to throw off his opponent and position himself for a winning shot. A serve (or more formally a service) in Tennis is a shot to start a point. Despite all this, Roddick is sometimes criticized for his lack of variety. Roddick will also occasionally use the serve and volley tactic on both first and second services to surprise his opponent, although he generally prefers to remain near the baseline after a serve. Serve and volley is a style of play in Tennis where the player serving moves quickly towards the net after hitting a serve.

One of Roddick's most effective combinations is the serve out wide on the deuce court followed by an inside out forehand winner. Although this tactic is expected by most opponents, they often struggle so much with returning serve that they are unable to recover fast enough to chase down his following shot. Roddick prefers to play shorter points, as he is not known to be one of the fastest individuals on the men's tour, though under Jimmy Connors' coaching he focused extensively on court coverage and now can reach many shots that previously he would have had trouble with. James Scott "Jimmy" Connors (born September 2 1952 in East St

Though Roddick's return game has been labeled his greatest weakness, this aspect of his game has improved somewhat in recent months. Under the tutelage of former coach Jimmy Connors, Roddick has attempted to transform his two-handed backhand and volley, arguably his worst two shots, into more reliable shots.
