Kartal exhibits a slightly superior performance on second serves, suggesting an ability to maintain her game in tight scenarios. However, Boulter's exceptional return game, particularly on second serves, may neutralize this advantage.

Despite Kartal's consistency throughout the past year, with a higher match-win rate, Boulter's experience against stronger opponents and her previous victory over Kartal could provide her a psychological edge.

Both showing similar proficiency in deciding sets, the match may come down to crucial points where Boulter’s slightly higher break point conversion rate could prove advantageous.

Given Boulter’s success in their past common encounter and her experience on the higher-level tour, she is the favored winner in this upcoming match.
