Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 63% vs 🛡️ The Spoiler across 1,180 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Shuai Zhang here.
Big Hitter players often use power groundstrokes and high winner count to pressure the the spoiler's strong court coverage. On Hard, that can swing with conditions.
