Imamo 4 osnovna tipa igraca :
1) Defanzivni igrac
2) Agresivni igrac
3) Svestrani igrac
4) Servis volej igrac
1) Defanzivni igrac uglavnom igra sa osnovne linije,ne udara jako vec konzistentno,igra nisko rizicne udarce i kao takav retko gresi ali i retko pravi direktne poene.Veoma retko igra na mrezi.Dobro odigrava prolazne udarce i lobove.
2) Agresivni igrac voli da odigrava agresivne udarce sa osnovne linije i ne retko ide na vinere iz tih pozicija.Voli da kontrolise poene jacinom udaraca. Takodje napada loptice iz terena i ide na mrezu.
Njegova igra sadrzi dosta visoko rizicnih udaraca.
3) Svestrani igrac igra i ofanzivu i defanzivu.Cesto menja ritam u igri i brzo se prilagodjava datoj situaciji na terenu. Kombinuje nisko rizicne sa visoko rizicnim udarcima.Dobro se prilagodjava protivnikovoj promeni taktike u toku samog meca.
4) Servis volej igrac napada izlascima na mrezu neposredno posle svog prvog servisa a ne retko i posle drugog.Cesto i u igri sa osnovne linije trazi priliku kad god je to moguce da izadje na mrezu i zavrsi poen volejom ili smecom. Danas je ovakvih igraca sve manje jer se dosta usavrsio retern kao udarac kojim
protivnik moze da napravi viner ako servis nije dovoljno jak i precizan.

2) Offensive player likes to play aggressive shots from the baseline and goes for winners from there.He likes to control the game by hitting hard shots.He also attacks short balls and comes to the net.
His game contains a lot of high risk shots.
3) The all-court player plays offensive and defensive style.He often changes rhythm and quickly adopt to the new situation on the court.He combines low and high risk shots.He changes tactic very well.
4) Serve – and – volleyer keeps attacking to the net after first serve but sometimes even after second serve. He very often, in a really from the baseline, chasing opportunity to come up to the net and finish point with volley or smash. Nowadays, we have less players of this type, because many players can hit very strong return of serve and make winner if serve is not enough accurate and powerful.
