Romain Ruiz has incredible backhand flicks and creates insane spin in general. Reminds me of Calderano. Why has he no results at all? Watched highlights of his match Vs Truls.
Quality of shots is up there, he's got some of the Simon Gauzy and Tristan Flore about him. Plays alongside Mattenet and Ouaiche (also Nima Alamian!), and he's been on a steady rise:

(However?) He's very much of the French school, with lots of variation and improvising quite a bit. Also, I can't help but think, sometimes going for the show. We've had so many such players (don't laugh as I am not comparing in terms of level, but I can be just the same as well... some people suggested it is because we get so much free play when training as youngsters), same thing happening in tennis. Obviously he's still on the rise, and about to step up a notch physically speaking. I hope he can keep the focus still, and think in terms of percentages. What we often get is players that make the highlights reels, by all evidence full of talent but who don't quite make it to the very top. Here I'm not necessarily referring to him and rather speaking in general terms, of course he's still very young and I hope he can find the best of both worlds (half of Xu Xin, French style, and I'll be a happy man).
