Shin's overall match win ratio over the past year and his success in Futures/Satellite/ITF tournaments indicate a player in better competitive form. Although Taguchi demonstrates better deciding set performance in general, Shin's edge on breakpoint conversions and past head-to-head record cannot be overlooked.

Given their comparable stats under pressure, but superiority in return games and overall tournament success, Sanhui Shin appears to be the probable winner of the upcoming match.
