Carla Suarez Navarro's Game Style

Server

Low

Carla Suarez Navarro doesn't count on her serve to win a match. Winning only 8% of her points with aces/service winners she isn't a Server at all.

Puncher

High

Carla Suarez Navarro is a dominant Puncher. This is with the topspin forehand that she dominates the most her rivals making on average 50% more points than them with this shot. The single-handed backhand is often the trademark of the Puncher but Carla Suarez Navarro uses more this shot to Retrieve than to Punch.

Tempo Player

Low

Playing with topspin Carla Suarez Navarro is much more a Puncher than a Tempo player. She doesn't take the ball on the rise close to the baseline but wait a bit longer on her stance to accelerate the ball with topspin. Usually, the Tempo players don't have a single-handed backhand.

Offensive Player

Medium

Carla Suarez Navarro moves forward from time to time but she can't be regarded as an Offensive player. However, she is very effective with the 1-2 Punch approach right after her serve.

Retriever

High

Winning 54% of her points by the errors of the rivals (above the average of the WTA players), Carla Suarez Navarro is not only a Puncher but also a Retriever. Her game style is between these two categories and she is capable to attack but also to wear her rivals down the the topspin forehand & backhand.
