Roger Federer in Wimbledon

Roger Federer is well-known for the aggressive style that also helped him to win 8 titles on fast courts such as Wimbledon’s.

However, being aggressive means committing more unforced errors than a “more defensive” player. Obviously, the upside of it is that an aggressive player may strike more winners and therefore the difference between the winners and the unforced errors is the key to win a match for a player with this specific style.

Federer beating Nadal and Djokovic in Wimbledon (unforced errors)

It’s rather surprising to see that in the first 4 rounds in Wimbledon, Roger is the player that has committed less unforced errors than the rest of the pack with an average of 0.50 unforced errors per game. The Swiss was even better than Nadal (0.53) and much better than Novak Djokovic (0.73) in this compartment.

The Swiss benefited from his easy win over Matteo Berrettini in the 4th round when he committed just 5 unforced errors also because the Italian looked out of sorts, but still, this is very encouraging for the world no.3
