Evaluating the second serve performance reveals that Dhamne has a minor advantage, which is often pivotal in tight matches. However, Sahtali's superior ability to return second serves can offset this benefit, making the matchup closer than it appears at first glance.

Both players demonstrate strong competence on hard courts, but Dhamne's overall win rate surpasses Sahtali, indicating slightly better form and consistency over the past year.

While Sahtali has faced higher-ranked opponents and shows remarkable composure under pressure, Dhamne's success in breakpoints and total matches suggests a competitive edge.

Considering these factors, Dhamne is slightly favored to win, but the match's outcome could easily swing to Sahtali, especially if they exploit their return game strength.
