, in the second.
[41]
Continuing a streak of indoor hardcourt wins in 2021, Kontaveit won the

Indian Wells
and an unseeded American player,

.

Tallinn
, the capital of her home country Estonia.
[65]
Playing style
[
edit
]
Kontaveit swinging a backhand
Kontaveit is an aggressive baseline player who uses a variety of strokes to force opponents to hit awkward shots; this enables her to strike fast winners or draw quick errors.
[66]
[67]
Due to her aggressive style, she typically hits many winners and unforced errors. Both her forehand and her two-handed backhand are hit flat, with relentless depth, power, and penetration, allowing her to dictate play from the first stroke of the rally. Kontaveit is also adept at hitting her backhand with slice, slowing the pace of rallies; she typically uses this shot while playing defensively, allowing her to slow a rally's pace and reposition herself so that she can resume her aggressive style. Kontaveit has a powerful first serve, which peaks at 109 mph (175 km/h), allowing her to serve aces. She also has effective kick and slice second serves, which prevent her from double-faulting and prevents opponents from scoring free points on second-serve returns.
Although she typically plays from the baseline; Kontaveit is adept at the net due to her doubles experience, and frequently attacks the net with powerful swinging volleys, which she uses to finish points quickly. She typically aims to receive short balls from her opponents, attacking with a high kick serve, altering pace with a backhand slice, and changing direction in a prolonged rally to do so.
[68]
She is also noted for her speed around the baseline, allowing her to reach most shots, counterpunch effectively, and hit running forehands; this is aided by her exceptional footwork, stamina, and court coverage.
[67]
Since hiring
Nigel Sears
as her coach, Kontaveit has improved her service, adding more power and variety, such as the kick serve, which has helped save break points against opponents; her serve made further improvements under
Dmitry Tursunov
's tutelage, making her a reliable server who serves multiple aces every match. Kontaveit's movement also improved under Tursunov, allowing her to hit powerful groundstroke winners on the run and developing a more confident, positive mindset. She has also become more aggressive and learned when to pull the trigger in rallies, allowing her to develop into a proactive player who dominates her opponents through sheer power and aggression.
Endorsements
[
edit

Kontaveit has been endorsed by
Lacoste
