Makarova was an all-court player who uses power and angles to set up passing shots.{{cite news |first=Richard |last=Pagliaro |title=Dubai: S. Williams d.

She was noted for her left-handed slice serve, often used to stretch opponents into uncomfortable positions. She attacked the return by shifting her wrist to disguise the direction of her forehand, or by hitting deep and aggressively with her backhand.{{cite news |first=Richard |last=Pagliaro |title=Australian Open: Makarova d. Williams |work=Tennis.com |date=23 January 2012 |access-date=3 September 2014 |url=http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2012/01/australian-open-makarova-d-williams/42588/}} She will usually seek to end the rally by maneuvering an opponent around the court and hitting a winner near the sidelines. Makarova hit powerfully on both wings, and is largely known for her aggressive groundstrokes.{{cite news |first=Khoa |last=Tran |title=Radwanska to play in Rogers Cup final |work=Front Page News |date=9 August 2014 |access-date=3 September 2014 |url=http://www.frontpagenews.ca/?p=7289}} Journalists have noted her cross-court forehand, describing it as a powerful finishing shot. In an article from WTATennis.com, her backhand was labeled "devastatingly good".{{cite news |first=Craig |last=O'Shannessy |title=Brain Game: Radwanska Vs Makarova |work=WTATennis.com |date=9 August 2014 |access-date=3 September 2014 |url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/article/4064079/title/brain-game-radwanska-vs-makarova}} Similarly, Richard Pagliaro of Tennis.com has noted her "bold" backhand as a primary strength.

Being a left-handed player, she was particularly comfortable hitting backhands in the deuce court, with several of her winners coming from that side. During the 2014 Rogers Cup, Agnieszka Radwańska repeatedly targeted Makarova's forehand in the ad court, occasionally exposing it as a vulnerability. When returning first serves, Makarova often made a series of quick stomps in place before blocking the shot back across the net; she attacks second serves by moving inside the baseline and hitting the ball at an angle.

As of August 2017, Makarova was one of just two left-handed players (the other being Angelique Kerber) to have ever beaten Serena Williams in a Grand Slam match, doing so at the 2012 Australian Open.{{cite web |url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/article/4787840/title/an-historic-week-for-left-handers |title=AN HISTORIC WEEK FOR LEFT-HANDERS |publisher=WTA Official Website |date=12 June 2015 |access-date=13 June 2015}}
