Professional Qualities
Hassan specializes in clay surfaces, with most of his tournaments taking place at the Challenger level. He possesses a solid game with both hands and a strong first serve. However, Benjamin lacks the consistency needed to break into the top 100 of the world rankings. One area where Hassan struggles is in return of serve.

On indoor hard courts this year, the Canadian has recorded an equal number of wins and losses with three victories and three defeats.
Professional Attributes
