Professional career

[edit]

In October 2003, at age 15, Giraldo became the youngest player in his country to be ranked by the ATP, getting his first point with theITF Futures tournament in Medellín. In 2005, he won his first professional tournament in Medellín, and a 15,000 dollar prize, in the ITF Futures category. In 2006, age 18, he won the Challenger de Bogotá title and reached the Challenger de Medellín final.

In March 2007, Giraldo won the Challenger de Bogotá title, beating the BrazilianFlávio Saretta, and won the Challenger de Quite againstGiovanni Lapentti. He reached two finals in the same Challenger category. Although he lost to the Spanish Fernando Vicente in the Challenger de San Luis Potosí, he was close to the Top-100, reaching position 115, and also entered theRoland Garros' main draw as a "lucky loser". In October of the same year, he reached the Challenger de Bogotá final, losing toMarcos Daniel. His only ATP triumph in 2007 was beating the VenezuelanYohny Romero in the Davis Cup, helping Colombia win the series, 3–1, against Venezuela.

During 2008, Giraldo had a 19–17 record in Challenger tournaments, he made it to the final at Challenger de Furth's final, losing toDaniel Köllerer, and to Challenger de Cali's semifinals. He made it to final draws five times, including theATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments atIndian Wells andMiami. For the second consecutive year, he madeRoland Garros' main draw, losing in the first round toFlorent Serra.

Playing style

[edit]

Giraldo has a powerful forehand stroke—with a big backswing and a forward swing that contacts the ball with extreme speed, flattening it out—that he uses to move his opponents around and end points quickly. His forehand has been likened to that ofFernando González, his coach. Giraldo also uses this technique to hit balls out wide at an acute angle, which is a signature shot of his. His forehand is known to reach speeds of up to 110 miles per hour (180 km/h). While his backhand is generally his weaker shot in terms of pace, he uses an identical technique, which makes his backhand flat and low. He is known for his flair in shot-making with both his forehand and backhand, often hitting balls with extreme pace or angles. His best shot is the running forehand.

Giraldo has a powerful return of serve. Unlike traditional good returners such asAndy Murray,Novak Djokovic, andAndre Agassi, who use anticipation and footwork to take serves early and efficiently, Giraldo stands further behind the baseline—especially on second serves—winds up a huge backswing, and takes the ball later, injecting a sudden increase in pace. He is also adept at controlling serves, such that he can hit them at acute angles with speed to finish off the point early. Giraldo's serve is not one of his strengths, but he possesses a decent flat and strong first serve and a top-spin second serve. His first serve can reach up to 120 miles per hour (190 km/h).

Giraldo's weaknesses include inconsistency and lack of agility. Because of his shot-making and hyper-aggressive style of play, he is more than prone to making unforced errors on his groundstroke rallies, more often than on his returns of serve. Because he often goes for hard, flat shots, he hits the ball into the net more often than other players. His playing style relies on dictating points and winning quickly, so he is affected by quick counter-punchers who can move him around and return his shots consistently, such asDavid Ferrer,Andy Murray,Novak Djokovic, andRafael Nadal. Giraldo occasionally exhibits clumsy footwork as well, and sometimes is simply not fast enough to retrieve directed or drop shots.
