Feliciano Lopez

Spain’s Feliciano Lopez , with countryman and Davis Cup teammate Marc Lopez, has found immense success in the doubles, but has done well in the singles too. An adept net player, Lopez is fond of the serve-and-volley technique, and uses it often.

He prefers coming to the net to hit, and unlike Stepanek will sometimes take on rallies at the net. His natural body motion takes him into, and towards the net, although it is more than likely he is more used to training on the clay courts of his home country, Spain.

Lopez has a serve that is both firm and quick, and that, in combination with his comfort at both net and baseline play, have seen the 35-year-old sustain success in both singles and doubles – he is currently World No. 34 in the singles, and 11th in the doubles.
