The upcoming match between Back and Arakawa promises to be a close contest, given their similar second serve performance. However, Back holds a slight edge in many key areas, which may tilt the scales in their favor.

Notably, Back's superior return game, particularly on second serves, and a better record in clutch scenarios, including a higher breakpoint save percentage, reflect a marginal advantage under pressure.

Furthermore, Back's overall success rate and past performance against Arakawa in head-to-heads, where they claimed victory in a three-set encounter, underscore their potential to emerge victorious once more.

While Arakawa possesses strengths, such as their effectiveness in converting breakpoints and a solid indoor hard court record, the conditions of the upcoming match seem more favorable to Back's style.

Based on these factors, Back is favored to win this tennis match.
