Raphael Collignon is a counter-puncher โ€” one of the best defenders in the tour. Their game is built on exceptional court coverage, consistency, and the ability to redirect pace. They rarely give opponents free points and make every exchange a battle.

Where many top players win through aggression, Raphael wins through attrition. Their groundstrokes are consistent rather than dominant, and their best shots often come from seemingly impossible defensive positions.

How their equipment supports their style: The Pure Aero 98 provides the stability needed to handle heavy incoming balls and redirect them. Babolat RPM Blast is durable enough to withstand the high ball-contact volume that a counter-punching game demands.
