Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 56% vs 🎾 All-Court across 1,032 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Elise Mertens here.
Big Hitter players often use power groundstrokes and high winner count to pressure the all-court's tactical versatility. On Clay, that can swing with conditions.
