Platform

Francisco Cerundolo 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. Francisco 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 Pro Stock PT57A2 suits an aggressive baseliner's need for a balance of power and control. Kirschbaum Max Power provides the spin and durability required for consistent heavy-ball hitting from the baseline.
