Playing style


Fourlis is an offensive baseliner and has a powerful forehand which she uses to try to dictate play from the back of the court. Her backhand and serve are reliable. She covers the court well. When she plays, she looks to use her forehand to finish off points.


Notes


  1. Tournament was moved from Canberra to Bendigo due to the smoke affecting Canberra from the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season.
