Looking at their recent second serve performance, Frances Tiafoe holds a marginal advantage which could be crucial in tight moments. He also excels in breakpoint saves, an indicator of a strong mental game in high-pressure situations.

Lorenzo Sonego, however, has demonstrated consistent success directly against Tiafoe in past encounters. With three victories out of four head-to-head matches, he seems to have found ways to counter Tiafoe's strengths.
