Anisimova is one of the cleanest, flattest ball-strikers in the women's game. Her two-handed backhand is among the very best on tour — she can redirect pace and hit winners down the line from defensive positions.

She takes the ball early and hits through the court with minimal spin, a style that rewards precise timing and produces an abundance of winners when she's playing well. Her 2025 run to two Grand Slam finals confirmed her place among the elite.

How her equipment supports her style: The Wilson Steam 100 is a powerful, comfortable frame that suits her flat, aggressive hitting. Luxilon Alu Power gives the control needed to keep her big, flat shots in the court.
