Playing Style & Technique
Elise Mertens is a versatile all-court player who adapts their game to the surface and the opponent. They are equally comfortable grinding from the baseline, attacking the net, or playing defensive rallies.
Their strength is variety — changing pace, using slices and angles, and being unpredictable. This makes them dangerous on all surfaces and hard to prepare a single game plan against.
How their equipment supports their style: The Tempo 298 IGA is a balanced frame that doesn't force a particular style — ideal for an all-court player who needs versatility. Yonex Poly Tour Pro complements this with a mix of control and feel across different shot types.
🤔 Should you copy Elise Mertens's setup?
Elise Mertens's all-court setup translates well to club level. The Tempo 298 IGA is forgiving and versatile. If you play an all-court game and want a similar setup, try Yonex Poly Tour Pro at 22–25 kg (48–55 lbs) for good all-round performance.
