Elise Mertens is a baseline player. She has consistent groundstrokes on both her forehand and backhand. Her backhand is her more reliable wing, while she can struggle with the timing on her forehand at times. She is quick moving laterally and she has precise timing on her groundstrokes which allows her to take the ball on the rise as well as redirect it. Her serve is reliable but not too forceful. When she is playing well she is able to hit many winners from the baseline.
