Han Shi Player Overview
Han Shi goes into this match on an excellent run - nine wins from her last ten matches.

Over that stretch she has a high set-winning percentage (79%) and game-winning percentage (65%). On serve she wins just over half of all service points, and her first-serve percentage stands at 81%. Shi also rarely double-faults and almost never gets broken to love, which speaks to her consistency across opponents of varying levels.
Match Results: Han Shi
Ayla Aksu Player Overview
Ayla Aksu is going through an inconsistent spell, winning just 3 of her last 10 matches. She did, however, beat Yuki Naito in the previous round in Ankara. Her average game-winning rate stands at 45% and her set-winning rate at just 35%. That said, there are individual sets where the Turkish player can trouble higher-ranked opponents: her hold rate is above average for her current form at 58%. Despite her losing run, she rarely goes down without a fight - she has been bagelled only twice in her last ten matches.
Match Results: Ayla Aksu
Key factors
- Han Shi has won 9 of her last 10 matches and is in consistent form.
- The average number of games per match for both players is close to the total line.
- Ayla Aksu is capable of taking sets even against stronger opponents.
- Han Shi has a high set-winning percentage, but her opponents rarely lose without a fight.
- Recent match statistics for both players point to the likelihood of extended sets.
Expected scenario
Han Shi stands out as the favourite on current form and statistics, though Ayla Aksu frequently makes things difficult even for stronger opponents. The most likely scenario favours Han Shi, but with the possibility of extended games or a competitive set from Aksu. That match structure fits a bet on the over - the line looks well-suited to exactly that kind of contest.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Han Shi's form is considerably better right now: a winning streak combined with a high percentage of sets won and no straight-set defeats. Ayla Aksu has been inconsistent, but even so she is capable of taking a share of games thanks to her experience against higher-ranked opponents. The combined statistics of both players support a scenario involving potentially long sets or a third set. The pick is Total Games - Over 20.5.
