Naomi Osaka's Game Style
Server
Very high
Naomi Osaka can be regarded as a dominant Server. When compared with her rivals, she makes on average 70% more aces/service winners and 2.5 times fewer double faults than them. When her first serve is in, 39% of the time it is an ace or a service winner and this result stands far above the general average of the WTA players.
Puncher
Medium
Naomi Osaka is much more a Tempo player than a Puncher. However, the quality of her topspin forehand has been improving and now she can also attack slower balls on that side.
Tempo Player
High
From the back of the court, Naomi Osaka is a dominant Tempo player. She constantly hits her forehand & backhand with power and makes on average much more points than her rivals with the backhand, the forehand and the return. However, she also makes more errors with these shots.
Offensive Player
Low
Winning only 4% of her points at the net (with or without a volley to play), Naomi Osaka is nothing but an Offensive player at the moment. Most of the time, she prefers to hit strong from the back of the court than to come in.
