Playing style
.jpg.webp)
Kontaveit utilizes a variety of strokes that generally force opponents to hit awkward returns—enabling her to strike fast winners or draw quick errors.[9][10] While seeking a short ball from her opponent, she will typically attack with a high kick serve, alter pace with a backhand slice, or change direction in a prolonged rally.[11] Along with her kicker, Kontaveit employs a wide slice serve as well. She is also noted for her speed around the baseline, allowing her to reach most shots and hit running forehands.[10] Since hiring Nigel Sears as her coach she has improved her service action adding more power and variety to it, such as utilising the kick serve which has helped save break points against opponents. She has also become more aggressive and learned when to pull the trigger in rallies.
