Playing Style & Technique
FAA is a powerful, attacking player built on a big serve and aggressive forehand. At 1.93m, his serve is one of the most dangerous on tour — he generates exceptional pace and is one of the better free-point servers at the top level.
His one-handed backhand is a stylistic standout. It gives him the ability to slice defensively or drive offensively through the court. FAA's is highly consistent for someone who plays as aggressively as he does.
How his equipment supports his style: The Pure Aero 98 matches his aggressive, spin-heavy game. RPM Blast at 23 kg (50.7 lbs) gives him a crisp, controlled response on the faster swings his serve-and-forehand pattern requires.
🤔 Should you copy Felix Auger-Aliassime's setup?
FAA's setup is well suited to ambitious club players. The Pure Aero 98 rewards fast swings and works well for semi-western forehand grips. RPM Blast at 23 kg (50.7 lbs) is on the lower end for a tour player, which makes it even more accessible — it'll feel lively and spinny without feeling dead.
