📊 In their only previous meeting, Abedallah Shelbayh won 2-1.
Tristan Boyer Player Overview
Tristan Boyer arrives at this match with inconsistent recent form - five wins from his last ten matches - though his most recent outing ended in a win over Edward Winter. His matches average 17.6 games, noticeably below most total lines. He wins 51% of games overall and takes 53% of sets. On serve, he holds around 78% of service games, though double faults are an occasional issue, averaging 5% per match. Worth noting: in only two of his last ten matches did Boyer fail to win a set, and he won three of them without dropping one. That profile reduces the likelihood of a drawn-out match even against a comparable opponent.
Match Results: Tristan Boyer
Abedallah Shelbayh Player Overview
Shelbayh has had a slightly better run of results - six wins from his last ten matches, including a recent victory over Tyler Zink. His average games per match stands at exactly 23.5, though his set-winning percentage (54%) and games-winning percentage (51%) are not notably different from his opponent's. His hold rate is comparable to Boyer's at around 77%, but he produces more double faults (6%). While Shelbayh has had both convincing wins and matches where he lost without much of a fight, his average match length does not suggest a particular tendency towards long three-set encounters.

Key factors
- Total Games - Under 23.5 has landed in 6 of Tristan Boyer's last 7 matches.
- The average number of games in Tristan Boyer's matches is 17.6, noticeably below the line.
- The average number of games in Abedalla Shelbayh's matches is 23.5, which also does not exceed the threshold.
Expected scenario
Looking at both players' recent form and their average games-per-match figures, a match without a clear dominant side and without a lengthy deciding set seems the most logical scenario. The outcome is likely either in straight sets or a short deciding set - which fits well with a bet on the under.
Total Games Prediction
Tristan Boyer's matches regularly produce low totals - they rarely reach a high game count even against opponents of a similar level. This supports a bet on a low total for this match.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Neither player has been on a particularly sharp winning or losing run: their sets-won averages and serve consistency are similar. Their matches rarely extend into a long third set - this is reflected both in Boyer's recent match trends (Under has come in almost every time) and in both players' underlying metrics. The pick is Total Games - Under 26.5.
