24 VICTOR DENMARK OPEN 2021 | Women’s Singles
“Her style is a very interesting addition to women’s singles” By Ronni Burkal Elkjær
Five different kinds of styles characterize women’s singles right now according to Denmark’s assistant national coach Jesper Hovgaard. But all five styles are a possible path to glory. - Movement and tempo play a big part at the top level in women’s singles. Especially a change of pace in the rallies is something, that hurts for the players. - We see a lot of women’s singles, who really want to have the initiative in the
rallies. Many of their choices are based on, they want the initiative at any time. - But the Olympics is usually a good reference of showing, what you need to be good at, and it showed another direction for this category. The very best women’s
singles are more willing and better at giving up the initiative instead of always wanting it. We saw for example Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying, who struggled against it, because a lot of shots was returned, and she couldn’t find holes in the opponent’s defense.
