Harry Wendelken Player Overview
Harri Heliövaara... wait - the text says "Харри Винделкен" - I'll preserve the name as transliterated. Harry Windelken has won three of his last ten matches, two of which came in US Open qualifying. The Briton holds serve in around 73% of service games - an average return for the surface. His first-serve percentage stands at just 53%, pointing to inconsistency on serve, and his double-fault rate is above average at around 5% per match. That said, Windelken is capable of making it competitive: both players post similar numbers in terms of games and sets won - 47-48% of games and just under 40% of sets - with neither holding a clear edge.

Key factors
- In Vilius Gaubas's last six matches at the US Open, the total games count came in under 22.5.
- Both players frequently win their matches in straight sets.
- The average number of games per match for both players is below 23.
- Their sets and games won statistics are closely matched, pointing to competitive matches without prolonged sets.
Expected scenario
Neither player enters this match as a clear favourite - both have been performing at a similar level and rarely go the distance. A deciding set is possible but not the most likely outcome, with two-set finishes remaining the more common pattern for both. That points towards a relatively compact match in terms of games. Our pick is **Total Games - Under**.
Total Games Prediction
Gaubas's recent matches have been on the shorter side: none of his last six has gone beyond the 22.5 line. With both players frequently winning in straight sets and rarely pushing past that games threshold, the under looks a reasonable call here.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both players post similar numbers in sets and games won, and their recent results suggest a tendency to wrap up matches in straight sets without much fuss. Gaubas's run of six consecutive matches with low game totals adds further weight to that scenario heading into this US Open qualifying final. That said, the odds allow for a little margin, making Total Games - Under 25.5 the sensible play.
