As we approach this match-up, recent statistics present a mixed picture of strengths and weaknesses for both players.
Rybakina holds a slight edge in second serve performance and shows greater poise under pressure by saving a higher percentage of breakpoints. This ability can be crucial in pivotal moments of the match. Additionally, Rybakina has faced tougher competitors on the tour, which may sharpen her competitive edge.
Conversely, Watson excels in return games, especially in converting points when facing second serves, a critical area that could dictate the match's flow. Her strong performance in deciding sets further boosts her chances if the match goes the distance.
Their previous encounter saw Rybakina triumph in a hard-fought three-set match, highlighting her ability to edge out Watson in direct competition.
