Given the contrasting styles of play, tiebreaks are anticipated, especially in the first set. Tikhonova’s quick reflexes at the net could be advantageous in breaking service frequently in tiebreak situations. A prediction of at least two tiebreaks during the match would account for her strategic play under pressure.
Additional Predictions
Considering Tikhonova’s adeptness at handling high-pressure situations, she is expected to maintain a break-point conversion rate above 50%.
