I think Marta doesn't have to hit stronger but with more accuracy. If you look at the power index at the official WTA site you will find Marta up there:
Rank Player Rating
1 Dinara Safina (RUS) 94.40 MPH
2 Justine Henin (BEL) 94.06 MPH
3 Marta Domachowska (POL) 93.54 MPH
4 Venus Williams (USA) 93.08 MPH
5 Serena Williams (USA) 92.48 MPH
6 Anastasia Pivovarova (RUS) 91.45 MPH
7 Sabine Lisicki (GER) 91.35 MPH
8 Meghann Shaughnessy (USA) 91.33 MPH
9 Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) 91.11 MPH
10 Victoria Azarenka (BLR) 91.03 MPH

The Power Index is the average maximum hitting speed of any player judged by maximum: a) 1st Serve Speed; b) 2nd Serve Speed; c) Forehand; d) Backhand; e) 1st Serve Return;
f) 2nd Serve Return; and g) Smash.

But she can hit in lines. Correct lines.

So she can hit stronger
