Betting Analysis
Over 1st Set Games: 58.30
This prediction suggests that the first set is likely to be competitive, with both players expected to hold their service games and potentially engage in long rallies. The odds indicate a relatively even chance of the set extending beyond 22 games, reflecting the anticipated resilience and skill of both competitors.
Total Games 2-Way (Over 22.5): 71.40
With odds favoring over 22.5 total games, this match is expected to be lengthy, possibly extending to three sets. The likelihood of a tie break in at least one set further supports this prediction, suggesting a closely fought contest where neither player can easily dominate.
Under 1st Set Games: 65.10
While less favored than the over bet, this prediction still indicates a significant chance that the first set will not exceed 22 games. This could occur if one player manages to break serve early or if both players maintain strong service games throughout the set.
Tie Break in 1st Set (No): 73.10
The high odds against a tie break in the first set suggest that one player might secure an early advantage, potentially winning the set outright without needing a tie break. However, given the competitive nature of both players, this scenario is less likely than others.
Under 2.5 Sets: 72.20
This prediction indicates that while the match could extend to three sets, there is still a strong possibility it will conclude in straight sets or reach only two sets. This reflects the potential for either player to secure a decisive victory in either the first or second set.
Under 3.5 Sets: 57.20
With odds favoring under 3.5 sets, this prediction aligns with the expectation of a match that could potentially go to three sets but is more likely to conclude earlier. This suggests that while a third-set tie break is possible, it is not highly probable.
Tie Break in Match (Yes): 54.90
The odds strongly favor at least one tie break occurring during the match, highlighting the anticipated competitiveness and evenly matched skills of Shelton and Fritz. This prediction underscores the likelihood of closely contested sets where neither player can easily break serve.
