Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 55% vs 🪃 Counterpuncher across 3,353 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Emilio Nava here.
Big Hitter players often use power groundstrokes and high winner count to pressure the counterpuncher's elite bp conversion. On Clay, that can swing with conditions.

Match summary
Emilio Nava meets Damir Dzumhur in the Round of 32 at the Sardegna Open on April 28, a clay court event where both men carry recent mixed records on the surface. Nava, ranked 116th, won their only prior meeting. Dzumhur sits at 84th in the standings and arrives after a thin stretch, winning just one of his last five matches.
The head-to-head stands at 1-0 in Nava's favor. Over a longer clay sample, Nava has gone 11-9, while Dzumhur is 10-10 on the surface. Dzumhur has won two matches in the past fortnight, but Nava has played more: four matches in fourteen days, though he lost his most recent outing after winning two of five.
Nava relies on heavy groundstrokes and pace off both wings to dictate from the baseline. Dzumhur operates as a retriever, waiting for mistakes and striking on shorter balls with slice and counterattacking drives. On clay, where rallies stretch longer and footing shifts, Nava must sustain his aggression without overhitting, while Dzumhur needs to construct points patiently and convert his openings before Nava's power overwhelms the court.
