Matchup analysis
The 🤖 Servebot archetype wins about 54% vs 🎾 All-Court across 1,601 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Marin Cilic here.
Servebot players often use high ace rate and dominant service to pressure the all-court's tactical versatility. On Hard, that can swing with conditions.
