As Matsuda and Aikawa prepare to face off, the slight edge in Matsuda’s second serve performance could have an impact, but both players have closely matched records over the past year. However, Matsuda's ability to convert breakpoints at a higher rate might give them a tactical advantage during key moments of their match.
