Heather Watson is right-handed and plays with a two-handed backhand. Her game is often likened to Martina Hingis and she has been praised by Nick Bollettieri for her "Amazing footwork".[25] Moreover her great on-court intelligence, court sense and stellar timing have been other talking points about her game.[26] According to Nigel Sears, head of women's coaching at the Lawn Tennis Association, Watson possesses "a complete game" [27], with a massive amount of variety including the consistent use of a one-handed backhand slice, volleys and angles. Others, including Watson herself, have also identified her game as similar to ATP player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga due to her "Big serve" and "Tremendous athleticism".
