The Players... Jason
Jason is Singaporean and is currently doing his 3rd year in a local Poly. He is one of the two "Jason's" playing in Regentville the only differences between the two is in the spelling of their names as well as both their playing styles. The guys on court playfully call him "Noddick" out of jest :)While "Jayson" is a hard hitting playing with style and finesse our featured "Jason" who is right handed with a double handed backhand plays a very patient game. His on court catlike movements when hitting the forehand and double handed backhand resembles that of Andy Roddick. His serving stance especially with the hopping backleg motions resembles that of Guillermo Coria. While he lacks the huge serving or Roddick, his ability to place the ball where he wants to during serves as well as to run down almost impossible shots are his greatest asset. He is only the only player I have seen being able to slide around on a hard court similar to that of clay! Fantastic feat for one cool dude...
His racquet of choice is the Babolat Pure Drive Plus. This is the same extended version which Andy Roddick uses. Although he moves like Roddick and uses the same stick as his, it is surprising his favourite player is not Andy Roddick! Jason in fact does not really have a favourite player but when I asked him whose style of play he liked most, remarked it was most likely Marat Safin, the big Russian player.
