Head-to-Head
📊 Yuan Yue and Mary Stoiana have never met before. With no head-to-head record to draw on, there is nothing further to read into their personal rivalry.
Yue Yuan Player Overview
Yue Yuan arrives at the qualifying final on the back of two consecutive wins on the US Open courts, having beaten Hanyu Guo and Yulia Avdeeva. Her record over the last ten matches stands at 4-6 - an inconsistent stretch, though three of those four wins have come recently. On serve, she holds around 72% of her service games, a solid figure for her ranking level. Her first-serve percentage sits at 70%, and the average total games in her matches exceeds 22. During this period Yuan has won four matches without dropping a set and lost just one in straight sets, suggesting she tends to stay competitive even against higher-ranked opponents.

Mary Stoiana Player Overview
Mary Stoiana has been in decent form lately, going 6-10 in her recent matches with two comfortable qualifying wins over Harmony Tan and Katie Swan. She is winning 54% of games played and just over half of all points (51%). Her hold rate is modest - around 45% - but she compensates with strong return games and a break-point conversion rate of 49%. Her matches tend to run long, averaging around 23.5 games, and four straight-sets wins suggest she is capable of sustaining her level throughout a match.
Match Results: Mary Stoiana
Key factors
- In 7 of Mary Stoiana's last 8 matches, the total exceeded 20.5 games.
- Both players average more than 22 games per match over their last 10.
- Each has won 4 matches in straight sets and lost only one without a fight, which reduces the risk of a quick encounter.
- Both players' recent matches have been closely contested.
Expected scenario
Both players in this qualifying final have a track record of long matches with high game counts. The probability of a third set is rated as moderate - a quick finish looks unlikely. That makes a mid-range total worth considering: the key point is that a straight-sets result is far from guaranteed, and the overall game count frequently runs beyond the baseline figure.
Total Games Prediction
Mary Stojan's matches tend to produce high game totals, and that pattern extends to both players in this qualifying final, where long sets are a common feature. This makes the case for backing the over on total games.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both players consistently feature in high-game-count matches, with their averages sitting above this line. The risk of a quick encounter is low, given how competitive both are on serve and on return. This final qualifying round has the makings of an extended contest, which favours the over. Our pick is Total Games - Over 20.5.
