Misolic has shown formidable performance on Clay and is impressive in high-pressure situations, having a higher breakpoint save percentage than Mochizuki. Furthermore, Misolic's ability to clinch deciding sets at a rate of 83% over the past year gives them a decided edge if the match reaches such a climax.
