Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 69% vs 🏃 Pusher across 502 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Francesco Passaro here.
Big Hitter players often use power groundstrokes and high winner count to pressure the pusher's extreme retrieval. On Clay, that can swing with conditions.
