Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 61% vs 🏃 Pusher across 507 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Yosuke Watanuki 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.
