The prediction for over 21 games in the first set at 62.80 indicates a belief that the initial set will be relatively high-scoring. This suggests that both players are expected to be in strong form, pushing each other to extend the set beyond the typical threshold.
With odds of 89.30 for no tie break in the first set, it is anticipated that one player might secure a decisive lead early on. This could be indicative of Shiraishi’s powerful serve potentially breaking through Hazawa’s defenses or vice versa.
The slightly lower odds for under 21 games in the first set at 62.10 reflect an expectation of a more evenly matched encounter where neither player gains a significant early advantage.
The prediction of no tie break occurring during the match at 85.90 implies that one player is expected to dominate at least one set convincingly enough to avoid tie breaks altogether.
Odds of 70.70 for the match concluding in under two and a half sets suggest a belief in a swift conclusion, possibly due to one player’s superior form or fitness levels.
This prediction indicates a likelihood of fewer than 22 total games across all sets, pointing towards a match where one player may have a dominant performance or strategic advantage.
The odds for under 22.5 total games at 60.60 further emphasize expectations of a quick match, potentially driven by early decisive sets.
