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.
