Biography
Shahar Pe'er's playing style is that of a defensive baseliner, or counterpuncher. Pe'er is solid from both her forehand and her backhand wings. Shahar Pe'er is also known for her good footwork. Her speed to get to the ball is exceptional too. Her serve is sturdy and her volleys are reliable also. Often Pe'er will play smart, high percentile shots and force her opponents to hit errors.
During matches, she often turns her back to her opponent between points, faces the back of the court, closes her eyes and tries to wipe the mental slate clean.
Her career-high singles ranking of World Number 15 on 29 January 2007 makes her the joint highest-ranked Israeli singles player (together with Anna Smashnova). Her best Grand Slam singles result has been reaching the quarter-finals (at both the Australian and US Opens); she has also reached the women's doubles final (at the Australian Open).
