⭐ Editorial Prediction
The hard court plays to the strengths of both players, but Selekhmeteva's powerful first serve and reliable return could be the decisive factors. Statistics also favor Oksana, who wins 78% of her opening sets. While not dismissing Rakhimova's achievements against higher-ranked opponents, it's noteworthy that even her longer matches rarely exceed the over/under totals. Given these factors, a total under 22.5 seems like a reasonable choice.
