Playing Style & Technique
Casper Ruud plays an attacking baseline game built on consistent power and depth. Their forehand is the primary offensive weapon — struck with a semi-western grip and heavy topspin to generate pace while keeping the ball deep in the court.
Their two-handed backhand is reliable and can be used both to redirect pace and to hit outright winners. Casper tends to dictate play from behind the baseline, looking for short balls to step in and finish the point.
How their equipment supports their style: The EZONE 98 suits an aggressive baseliner's need for a balance of power and control. Yonex Poly Tour Pro / Yonex Poly Tour Spin (hybrid) provides the spin and durability required for consistent heavy-ball hitting from the baseline.
🤔 Should you copy Casper Ruud's setup?
Casper Ruud's setup is a solid starting point for club players who hit with topspin and like to attack. The EZONE 98 is accessible at multiple playing levels. If you use Yonex Poly Tour Pro / Yonex Poly Tour Spin (hybrid) or a similar string, aim for 22–25 kg (48–55 lbs) for a good balance of control and feel.
