Christina McHale's Game Style
Server
Medium-low
Christina McHale cannot be regarded as a Server because her ratio of aces/service winners on first (and second serve) is below the WTA average. She only makes the same ratio of free points with her serve as her opponents because when reveiving she puts back in play more first serve than average too.
Puncher
High
Christina McHale is a dominant Retriever with the Punch as a second category and in her case these two categories are very close. It means that she wears her opponents down (mainly with her forehand) but is also capable of finishing the rallies with her topspin forehand. 22% of her points are won with forehand winners / forcing errors and this number is above the WTA average.
Tempo Player
Medium-low
Christina McHale can play her Backhand with close to the baseline when she needs but we cannot say that her backhand or her return is her trademark. Tempo players win much more rallies with these two shots than her. In her case, the backhand is more used to Retrieve than to attack.
Offensive Player
Low
Christina McHale is nothing but an Offensive player. Only 7% of her points are won at the net and this number is below the WTA average. She prefers to extend the baseline rallies than to come to the net and when she moves forward this is when she really puts herself in a winning position.
