An aggressive left-hander, Shnaider dictates from the baseline with a powerful forehand and a flat two-handed backhand, and is comfortable taking the ball early. The left-handed angles give her a natural edge, and she is an accomplished doubles player too. Her signature on-court look is a coloured bandanna.
