What Will Likely Decide the Final
- First-strike consistency: The player who lands a higher volume of first aggressive balls without over-pressing should control rally patterns.
- Depth on the return: Early neutralization of the serve has been a hallmark for both finalists; maintaining depth on returns will be pivotal.
- Composure on big points: Both players have cruised, but the final tends to compress margins. Conversion on break chances may prove decisive.
