What is the Playing Style of Rafael Nadal?

Rafael Nadal is a strong counterpuncher because of his aggressive style of play, which is based on heavy topspin groundstrokes, consistency, quick footwork and persistence.

Nadal, who is well-known for his agility and quickness, is a skilled defender who can create winning plays from what appear to be defensive positions. His excellent drop shots are also very effective because his heavy topspin frequently pushes rivals to the back of the court.

Nadal uses a semi-western grip for his forehand, frequently finishing with a "lasso-whip" finish above his left shoulder as opposed to a more conventional finish across the body or around his opposite shoulder. More than most of his contemporaries, Nadal is able to hit shots with strong topspin due to the groundstroke he uses on his forehand.
