Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 75% vs 🏃 Pusher across 1,280 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 pusher's extreme retrieval. On Hard, that can swing with conditions.
