Matchup analysis
The 👑 The Complete Package archetype wins about 56% vs 💥 Big Hitter across 4,219 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Claire Liu here.
The Complete Package players often use elite serve & return and high bp conversion to pressure the big hitter's power groundstrokes. On Hard, that can swing with conditions.
