Does anyone think his forehand is aesthetically very similar to federer's?

No just no. It just looks like a regular forehand.

His forehand definitely looks old school. Flat follow through, not much wrist, ball just rips through the court. If I had to pick a similar forehand i would say Sampras.

Agreed, also he uses the eastern (or strong eastern) grip, straight arm forehand, neutral stance approach shots, etc.

And actually ya, I can see some hybrid of Sampras (not the backswing) + 2002-2004 Federer's forehand in his technique.

I'm glad the last couple of upsets changed your mind...now is it OK for me to pick him in PPL??? P.S.: 16 points today wasn't enough to risk on my last pick so, alas I went with Llodra instead with my last pick. If you have one left over, lend it to me for the final tomorrow!

Not a surprise...his ATP profile mentions Petros as his childhood idol. Parents are both pro volleyball players...good athletic stock!

How many guys can we fit into the top 5. Everyone is putting numbers on Jano, Nishikori, Raonic and the other young guns.

Hope Jano will maintain the top 20 ranking.

We need to see more confirmation in other tournaments as well. No denying his tennis ability.....but just like Goodall says...it is the head that matters.

There have been threads like Tomic and Young being top 5. Has not happen....and may never happen.

A good run at Wimbledon and Paris. Hope he has more runs.....he like a mini Tsonga with a better backhand .

Top 5 is a stretch but I won't be surprised if he plays second week at majors often. I wish I had seen this coming this week but I kinda left the JJ bus after he busted out of qualies at Cinci (to Matosevic), W-S (to Gulbis) and main USO (to WC Novikov). But then, everyone lost to WC Americans at the USO, no?

It'll be interesting to see if slower HC's and clay are as kind to him in '13 as grass and indoor HC have been in '12. Much to build on, not the least being confidence!

We need to see him when he's not playing great. Playing lights out doesn't justify anything.
