Tauson and Volynets have shown distinct strengths in different aspects of their game. Tauson's second serve performance and breakpoint resilience give her an upper hand in service games. Additionally, her higher success rate in saving breakpoints positions her well against Volynets' aggressive return game.

However, Volynets excels at converting breakpoint opportunities and has a stronger record in pressure situations such as tiebreaks and deciding sets. Her ability to exploit Tauson's vulnerability on first serve returns could be a decisive factor in gaining momentum during the match.
