Anastasija Sevastova's Game Style
Server
Medium
Anastasija Sevastova gets an edge against her rivals with the Serve mainly thanks to her very consistent second serve (3 times fewer double faults). Otherwise, she can also count on a steady first serve with results in the average.
Puncher
High
Anastasija Sevastova can be regarded as a dominant Puncher. This is with the forehand topspin that she gets her biggest edge against her rivals making on average 25% more points than them. In total, 21% of her points are won with that shot and this is above the general average of the WTA players.
Tempo Player
Medium
Being a complete baseline player, Anastasija Sevastova can also count on a Tempo side. Her backhand is really consistent but she is also capable to take the ball on the rise and accelerate from time to time. As a good defender, the Tempo is also used when she has to counterpunch with pace.
Offensive Player
Medium
Even though Anastasija Sevastova cannot be regarded as an Offensive player, she knows when to come in to get an edge. 75% of her points are won when she comes in for a total of 10% of her points won at the net (with or without a volley to play).
