Playing style
In 2014, Steve Tignor of Tennis.com called Cibulková "a threat to everyone".[141] In describing her style, he later suggested that "any player, from top pros to rank amateurs, can learn a thing or two from how Cibulková approaches the game," citing aggression, enthusiasm, and a quick pace between points.[142]
Self-described as a player with "a lot of energy",[5] Cibulková employed an aggressive style that was largely founded on speed and power.[143] She was known for her remarkable racquet-head speed,[141] which enabled her to produce deep groundstrokes with her forehand and powerful shots with her backhand. She was also known for approaching the net and finishing points with swing volleys.[141][144] Her aggressive shots have been noted for their ability to force errors or produce winners during extended rallies.[145]
When a point ended, Cibulková "refocused right away," using the pace to pressure opponents or avoid negativity.[142] She typically employed a high ball toss and a hard serve.[142]
On defense, she often attacked second serves with quick forehands, and hit prompt returns while taking the ball on the rise. Occasionally, she did break a prolonged rally by mixing in a drop shot. Her lower-body strength created quickness around the court, enabling her to reach and return shots.[141][143]
