His demeanor in the tennis world is impressive profound. However, her defensive and offensive prowess have made her the benchmark of the sport. She is characterized by a particularly aggressive style of play, inherited from her career as a tennis player but developed over the years with great perseverance and dedication.
tennis career
The veteran cricketer began her tennis career and, in fact, reached the quarter-finals of the French Open in 2000. She was once a top 50 WTA player but withdrew from the racket in early 2009 due to injury. After a while, she decided to venture into the world of paddle tennis and become a professional athlete.
As a tennis player, Marta Marrero has represented Spain in the finals of all categories, as well as being a U16 World Champion, a quarter-finalist at the French Open and an eighth-place finalist at the Australian Open.
The beginning of padel
Marta’s career as a cricketer began as a hobby until she discovered she could do it in a more professional manner. During her career in the sport, she met Elisabeth Durán, who went on to become the Spanish Junior Tag Team Champion and who encouraged her to try her luck on the World Padel Tour (WPT).
Here’s how this player developed during his time at the WPT:
- year 2013: Marrero will start competing on the World Padel Tour with Alejandra Salazar.

Advantage
Marrero’s technique is nourished by tennis, but with an admirable ability to work, resulting in a very peculiar but very effective style of cricket. Let’s see some of the differences between Marta and her competitors:
- She has the ability to paddle, and she is dominant and aggressive when it comes to paddling. Especially since she has shown that she has the ability to learn from her mistakes to perfect her game.
- Due to his good footwork, he covers most of the court, a technique that can increase the chances of winning.
- He stands out for his powerful backhand volleys and even covers most of the midfield with his forehand volleys. Plus, his topspin, or flat spin, is considered one of the most effective on the circuit (not to mention historically).
- She has the ability to reinforce her weaknesses, as when she “locks” in to defend in the corner, she looks for opportunities to turn the situation around and turn it into an offense.
- On defense, he’s able to capitalize on her aggressive style of play, always looking to get into counter-attacking positions (since defense isn’t usually her primary skill).
weakness
While we can point out that her defense isn’t perfect, she’s generally aggressive, but that shouldn’t be considered a weakness. Marta only seeks to exploit when it is her turn to defend, and to change that when attacking.
Her main weakness, however, is her on-court personality, as she can sometimes lose her focus and control of the game. She herself has admitted this many times.
All in all, Marrero defends on the counter and when she’s focused she’s a tough one to beat. Watching her play is a real visual treat, especially for those who love cricket.
