Matchup analysis
The 🎯 Baseliner archetype wins about 66% vs 🏃 Pusher across 220 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Mikhail Kukushkin here.
Baseliner players often use precise groundstrokes and court control to pressure the pusher's extreme retrieval. On Hard, that can swing with conditions.
