Match Results: Mia Ristic
Ayana Akli Player Overview
Akli has won seven of her last ten matches, but three of those defeats came in straight sets, pointing to some inconsistency against stronger opponents. She has tended to take the first set in recent matches, though maintaining that level over the course of a full match has proved difficult - her set-winning percentage stands at just 67%. In terms of games, she trails the favourite, having claimed only 57% of games played. Her serving stats and points-won figures are also notably below those of Mia Ristić. Akli's current form suggests she is capable of competitive spells, but sustaining that level against top-quality opponents remains a challenge.

The trend is consistent: even in her better spells, Akli rarely exceeds her individual games total threshold.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The difference in form between these two players is clear: Mia Ristić has been consistently dominant, while Ayana Akli has repeatedly struggled against stronger opponents. The American's high rate of straight-set losses, combined with the Serbian's advantage across virtually every area of the game, gives reason to expect Akli to fall short of the individual games threshold even with some resistance from the underdog. Our pick is Ayana Akli - Player Total Games Under 12.5.
