Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?
Don't know about other aspects of my game but I played today and my two handed backhand was sweet and exact copy of the Williams sisters' open stance two handed backhand. I can go inside out, DTL or cross court with it - topspin or flat. I always hit like this but this is the most consistent I've ever been.
But alas, that's where the similarities end. 
Forehand is not too bad but very loopy. I need to learn to flatten it out.

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?
I'd say Kerber. Great movement and court coverage. A so-so serve, but it's pretty precise. But I also like body serves  I get down on my knees very often to retrieve the ball (like Radwanska also). Not much top spin (but sometimes I use it though, when I have many errors). Good change from defense to offense. And I'm hopeless against my opponents moonballing  
What's different is that I'm right-handed, and my swings are prettier

I do this too, always have. I'm always really surprised when people comment on it as it comes naturally!

Serve - Dementieva.
Backhand - Stosur.
Movement - Taylor Townsend
Calling the lines - this is the only place I'm at the same level as Sharapova |

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?
I've completely messed up my forehand over the years. I used to have patches at least when it worked magically, nowadays it's just shit.
