In recent months, Korneeva has demonstrated exceptional consistency, particularly highlighted by her robust return game effectiveness against second serves, signaling offensive adeptness on court. Her overall match win percentage this past year further substantiates her resilient gameplay.

Putintseva, on the other hand, boasts superior experience on the Main tour and has faced more formidable opponents, which speaks to her adaptability and potential resilience in high-pressure matches. However, Korneeva's surface proficiency and competitive sharpness on Hard courts could provide her with ample opportunities to leverage her strengths effectively.

Despite Putintseva's slight statistical advantage in close-set scenarios, the aggregated advantages seen in Korneeva’s performance trends, particularly her higher match win rate, suggest she may be better positioned for success in this upcoming encounter. Thus, Alina Korneeva appears to be the likely favorite to win this match.
