Talk about nitpicking...
Seppi's style (as mentioned plenty of times in the thread): finishing points quickly when his first serve is in (his first serve allows him to do this many times, finishing with the first serve-forehand winner combo but not always of course). Being patient and constructing points which allows him to flatten his shots at right times, not rushing winners like other players. His consistency allows him to do it because he's not a player that will usually hit an UE after two or three shots. When rushed by players that hit harder, decent counterpunching abilities that allow him to get back on position. Inside out forehand is his most safe shot to get the winner when unleashing.
Not passive IMO, passive IYO! Cool with that.
