* Statistics correct as of 19 July 2013.

Duque-Mariño has a playing style similar to Gabriela Sabatini. Her serve has a more complicated motion than most women, but her athleticism allows her to keep the parts working together pretty smoothly. Her forehand is a heavy-topspin forehand that she hits at shoulder level while falling backward. The weakest, and the most un-Sabatini-like, element of Duque-Mariño's game is her backhand. She has a two-hander, and most of its power and spin is generated with her left hand. This makes the stroke a little flippy and rushed; for what is essentially her rally shot, it's not all that safe.
