The 相手 and 彼女 refer to the same person. Could you please explain the usage of
the construction 相手が相手だからって? Or more generally NがNだからって?

Understanding NがNだからって
As you might have figured, N が N だからって, or N が N だからといって, literally means
“just because N is N”, or a little more idiomatically “just because N is what
it is.”

Your example might be translated as “just because your opponent (or date?) is
as strong as she is.” What adjective comes in the place of “strong” depends on
the context. It describes how N is expected to be without being explicitly
stated.
