Her game is a combination of exquisite shot-making and much more power and penetration to her strokes. Hilary will continue to play among the elite this year in both singles and doubles while concentrating on more consistent serving and placing constant pressure on her opponents by coming forward whenever possible. She served notice in January that she is ready to start the year with a bang, as she reached the final and lost a tough three-setter at the NCTC Classic."
