Yeah it's true, but hopefully she's going to be a little more aggressive to the net. She doesn't have to completely change her gamestyle but coming a little more to the net would only be good for her imho. I remember when she's half way to the net but then she backs up to the baseline instead of closing the point, ending up in just having to rally more and get tired.

Roberta too
I just wish she could play volleys like she does! I remember during the Milan exho when Maria played a quite decent volley during the doubles match, and then she laughed at it like "OMG how did I do that!!"
