Approaching this match, several key statistics suggest a highly competitive encounter between Zhu and Wu. Zhu demonstrates marginally better second serve performance, indicating a slightly stronger baseline play.

However, Wu’s notable strength in return games, particularly against second serves, reflects an ability to exploit opponents’ vulnerabilities more effectively.

Zhu’s superior breakpoint-saving ability implies a greater mental fortitude and resilience during high-pressure moments.
