she can blew lesser opponents off the court with her powerful ground strokes. you often she her having easy early rounds in tournaments with scores like 6:0, 6:1. but just when you get excited about the results, she plays a seasoned player and throws in enormous amount of UEs and loses the match just as lopsidedly.
remember playing hingis 2 years ago and she had astonishing 60+ UEs.
her ground strokes are powerful, flat and early. which means she is tough to handle for any player. but at the same time it means her game is high risky. hitting every ball flat and early is low percentage play. when it gets into a long rally, li na will most probably lose the point.
she will probably never break into top 10. for she doesn't seem to be a smart player. her game plan is hitting the ball hard. when it doesn't work, hit it harder. no top 10 players play this kind of mindless game.
