Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

Kaia Kanepi for sure, not so much in technique but more in the style she plays. Big serve but having the double fault count keep up with the ace count most of the time. Big hitter with decently heavy top-spin on the forehand with a more flat backhand. Also able to get to more than may first appear. Net play has been and always will be a work in progress.

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

Now Mandy Minella? Probably, serve is okay most of the time. Forehand is the main weapon, sometimes its so off I cannot get any in, sometimes its really good im hitting so much winners off it. Backhand is also okay, although it is more consistent then the forehand. Movement is really good (not sure about Mandys)

This was my post from August last year, lol so much has changed in my game My forehand has actually become a weapon, tried a new swinging motion and now I got it. I can hit it pretty flat and it can do some damage. I now kind of master the backhand slice but still need to improve. Also my serve has improved so much I have a kind of Serena like serve motion I guess. But I don't know for sure I should let someone film me once I managed to get a lot more racquet headspeed on the ball. My next goals are to improve my backhand slice, 2nd serve and forehand dropshot

So I'm not really a Wozniacki anymore, I'm kind of a ballbasher now

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

My serve is modelled off Sharapovas, and despite everything, being a similar height too, I can't really get any/much kick, so it's always flat or sliced... and I probably get 20% of first serves in...
Second serve I pretty much abandon the jump into the serve unless I feel confident, and just use my arm to guide the ball in, reason for this is, I once played a friendly match, where I served 5 DFs in a row, and 19 in a set...so I figured it was best to at least contest to the point rather than give away almost 5 games in errors...

Forehand is also similar to Sharapovas and I tend to use the reverse forehand more than I should, probably 50-60% of the time, it's pretty flat, and is my more powerful and consistent shot...
Backhand is simple, small backswing and kinda a flick followthrough, and I can really hit it hard, but mainly push it, making a lot of errors when I do either.

Slice is something I can do from either side, but its lower and more spinny on my backhand, but they sometimes almost end up being dropshots because i lack the racquet head speed to push the ball to the back of the court...
Volleys are generally pretty good, and I can't hit a smash at all, (I once missed a smash that was high but literally 2cm from the net, and it then hit the tape and went out) so i make everything a swinging volley which is a lot easier to control.

Movement could be a lot better, but I do always try my hardest to get everything back, but I tend to not take the little adjustment steps to get into a good position for easier shots, so that probably explains a lot of my errors...

Massive post, but yeah if I had to choose, I'd say Sharapova techniques with a slow Wozniacki game....

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

My service motion is slowly becoming more like Hantuchova's. Sometimes I do the long take back like Goerges's except my coach tells me not to (even though I could get good serves from it )

I'm slowly becoming like Kerber with my groundstrokes and movement.

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

I've seen tape of my own game and my forehand looks a lot like Capriati's. I can't really compare everything else to a pro's technique

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

My fh and bh is Venus all the way. My game, well I attempt to play like Davenport minus a big serve because mines is crap. I hit hard and deep down the middle, especially on hot days because I hate all the running and my movement is crap anyway.

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

I have an exasperated service motion and crazy on court routines. SO that probably puts me in the Bartoli category.

I don't hit two hands on both wings though.
My forehand is similar to Stosur's, I often run round it.
By results i'm more like Simone Kalhorn to be honest

Re: Which pro does your game compare most to?

Like Lucic, but with a crappy serve, less reliable forehand, 1/2 as powerful (which is quite powerful actually), and overall more erratic than hers
