Roman Safiullin FAQ
Roman Safiullin turned professional in 2015 and reached a career high of No. 36 in January 2024, having sat outside the top 150 only two years earlier. The Russian is a right-hander with a two-handed backhand, and he plays low-margin tennis: big cuts off both wings, short rallies, and a high winner count when his timing is there. That style makes him streaky rather than steady, which is exactly why seeded players dislike drawing him early. Quick hard courts suit him best, because they reward the flat ball he hits and keep the points short.
