Micic and Shinikova present a compelling matchup with strengths in different areas. Shinikova shows a slight edge in second serve performance, which is crucial for overall match outcomes. However, Micic's ability to return better, especially on first serves, adds an interesting dynamic to this matchup.

While Shinikova has a higher win percentage over the past year, Micic excels in saving break points and converting them, which could be a deciding factor if the match gets tight. Micic's record against stronger opponents also suggests resilience under pressure.

Both players have specific surfaces where they thrive, but with this match not being held on either Grass or Hard, neither player has a definitive surface advantage. Considering past performances and current form, Micic's superior success in deciding sets and tough match scenarios could give them the upper hand.

Ultimately, based on the statistical analysis and current trends, Micic appears slightly more likely to secure a win in this upcoming match against Shinikova.
