The odds indicate a high probability of the first set exceeding 9 games (Over 1st Set Games: 85.20), suggesting that this match could see some intense rallies and deuces. Both players are known for their resilience at the baseline, which may lead to longer exchanges and potentially a tiebreak scenario.
Tie Break in First Set
