Andre Ilagan Player Overview
Andre Ilagen comes into the semifinal after six wins in his last ten matches, and at this tournament he has already beaten three opponents in a row without a loss.

Notably, in nine of his last ten matches the total games exceeded the 21.5 line, and his average number of games per match reaches nearly 26. Over the past month, Ilagen has shown a tendency toward long sets and extended finishes even against lower-ranked opponents.
Match Results: Andre Ilagan
Key factors
- In 9 of Andre Ilagan's last 10 matches, the total exceeded 21.5 games.
- The average number of games in both players' matches exceeds 22.
- Both players show a similar percentage of games and sets won, which suggests a potential battle.
- In their only head-to-head meeting, a third set was played.
Expected scenario
The recent performances of both players suggest an even contest with a high probability of two hard-fought sets or a deciding third set. This scenario naturally favors the over bet on total games: both players know how to hold serve and rarely lose matches quickly, so the total number of games will most likely exceed the indicated line.
Total Prediction
Statistics confirm that Ilagan frequently goes over the total line even against different opponents - this is reflected in the expected scenario of the semifinal with Johnson. The average match length figures of both players strengthen the argument in favor of a high number of games played.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The form of both players points to a lengthy semifinal: the average games won per match is high for both Johnson and Ilagan, and each is capable of holding serve under pressure. Their previous head-to-head meeting went to three sets, and the statistics from recent matches only reinforce the likelihood of a high number of games. The bet is total games in the match over 21.5.
