Platform

Maria Sakkari plays an attacking baseline game built on consistent power and depth. Their forehand is the primary offensive weapon β€” struck with a semi-western grip and heavy topspin to generate pace while keeping the ball deep in the court.

Their two-handed backhand is reliable and can be used both to redirect pace and to hit outright winners. Maria tends to dictate play from behind the baseline, looking for short balls to step in and finish the point.

How their equipment supports their style: The Ultra 100 suits an aggressive baseliner's need for a balance of power and control. Luxilon ALU Power provides the spin and durability required for consistent heavy-ball hitting from the baseline.
