Hi Shripathi,
He follows all the basics. He has very good basic technique with a big backswing and a slightly shorter follow through.
If you watch most of the top players they have the same basics to their shot. What you need to do is establish these basics yourself and then you can adapt it slightly to your own feel. However it is really important to get the basics right. We show you these in our lessons on the Forehand.

is it a similar technique to waldners/perssons?
also do you think he can in the future make it to the top ten?
HI Shripathi,
It is a similar technique to Persson. His follow through is sometimes similar to Waldner.
