Matchup analysis
The 💥 Big Hitter archetype wins about 55% vs 🏹 Frontrunner across 302 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Novak Djokovic here.
Big Hitter players often use power groundstrokes and high winner count to pressure the frontrunner's fast starts. On Clay, that can swing with conditions.
