The upcoming match presents a fascinating contrast in playing styles and recent performances. Due to a superior ability to earn points on the second serve, Baptiste might hold an indirect advantage, hinting at resilience under pressure. Nonetheless, Svitolina stands out in her capability to capitalize on returning opportunities, essential in disrupting Baptiste's service games.

Conversely, Baptiste's adeptness in recent Master series events implies a readiness to confront high-pressure situations.

Given the data and current form, while Baptiste shows commendable promise particularly under breakpoint situations, Svitolina's more robust set of strengths, especially in aspects of return games and overall match-winning confidence, suggests she is more likely to win this upcoming encounter.
