Playing style and strengths

Yuan Wan stands out with an exceptionally versatile, dynamic and consistently offensive playing style. One of her trademarks is her high-toss backhand serve, which she executes with great precision and an excellent feel for spin, length and placement. By constantly varying her serves, she puts her opponents under pressure right from the return and repeatedly creates ideal opportunities to take control of the next ball.

One of Yuan’s greatest strengths is the way she combines her serve with an immediate first attack. She looks to take the initiative early and dictate the rally from the very beginning. As soon as an opportunity arises, she increases the pace and puts her opponent under immediate pressure with an aggressive first ball. She combines speed and precision with clever placement and an excellent sense of the game situation.

What makes her particularly difficult to play against is her ability to constantly change the rhythm and pace of the game. This makes it difficult for her opponents to settle into a predictable pattern. Yuan uses this variation deliberately to create openings, force weaker returns and then follow up with her uncompromising attacking game.

The combination of dangerous serves, an aggressive first ball, high pace and great variation defines Yuan Wan’s game. With her courageous and unconventional offensive style, she looks to take control early and is an opponent who is extremely difficult to read.
