Platform

Sebastian Ofner 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. Sebastian 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 Pure Strike 98 suits an aggressive baseliner's need for a balance of power and control. Isospeed poly thin mains + thicker crosses provides the spin and durability required for consistent heavy-ball hitting from the baseline.
