Playing style

Makarova practicing at the 2014 Rome Masters.

Makarova is an all-court player who uses power and angles to set up passing shots.[13][14]

She is noted for her left-handed slice serve, often used to stretch opponents into uncomfortable positions. She attacks the return by shifting her wrist to disguise the direction of her forehand, or by hitting deep and aggressively with her backhand.[13][15] She will usually seek to end the rally by maneuvering an opponent around the court and hitting a winner near the sidelines.[14]

Makarova hits powerfully on both wings, and is largely known for her aggressive groundstrokes.[16] Journalists have noted her cross-court forehand, describing it as a powerful finishing shot.[15] In an article from WTATennis.com, her backhand was labeled "devastatingly good".[17] Similarly, Richard Pagliaro of Tennis.com has noted her "bold" backhand as a primary strength.[15]

Being a left-handed player, she is particularly comfortable hitting backhands in the deuce court, with several of her winners coming from that side. During the 2014 Rogers Cup, Agnieszka Radwańska repeatedly targeted Makarova's forehand in the ad court, occasionally exposing it as a vulnerability.[17] Makarova will sometimes counter this tactic by running around forehands on the ad side. Many of her forehand winners are hit down the line.[17]

When returning first serves, Makarova often makes a series of quick stomps in place before blocking the shot back across the net; she attacks second serves by moving inside the baseline and hitting the ball at an angle.[15]
