In assessing recent performances and key statistics, Whitehouse demonstrates a stronger overall track record and excels in converting breakpoints, a crucial element when breaking an opponent's serve. Despite Wan's slight advantage in second serve performance and return games, Whitehouse's consistency in crucial moments, particularly saving breakpoints and performance under pressure, sets them apart.

Whitehouse's stronger win record on hard courts and over the past year also provides a significant edge. Meanwhile, Wan's encounters with higher-ranked opponents suggest a battle-tested experience, but this may not outweigh Whitehouse's advantage in breakpoint conversion and overall win percentage.

Overall, while Wan shows promise in certain areas like serve performance, the combination of Whitehouse's efficiency in converting breakpoints and performing under pressure makes them a more likely candidate for victory in the upcoming match.
