Playing Style
Kevin Anderson's playing style is a blend of power,aggression,and tactical play,making him a formidable opponent on any surface,particularly on fast courts where his serve and groundstrokes can be most effective. Anderson's serve is one of his most significant weapons. Standing at 6'8" (203cm),he uses his height to generate a high bounce and a lot of pace on his serve,often exceeding 130mph (209km/h). His serve placement and variety make it difficult for opponents to anticipate and return effectively. He has a formidable forehand and backhand,both of which are hit flat and with significant power. He is capable of hitting winners from both wings,particularly favoring his forehand to dictate play from the baseline. Anderson prefers to play aggressively,taking control of rallies early and looking to finish points quickly. He often steps inside the baseline to take the ball on the rise and put pressure on his opponents. Despite being primarily a baseline player,Anderson is proficient at the net. His height gives him a good reach,and he uses his volleys effectively to finish points when he gets the opportunity to move forward. While not as strong as his serve,Anderson's return game is solid. He uses his reach and anticipation to neutralize big servers and get into rallies where he can utilize his groundstrokes.[50]
Personal life
Anderson married his college girlfriend,golfer Kelsey O'Neal,in 2011,and they bought a home in Delray Beach,Florida.[51] His daughter,Keira,was born in September 2019.[52] He is a permanent resident of the United States.[53]
