Additional Expert Predictions
Given Baker’s aggressive style, she might aim to finish sets quickly by breaking Peck’s serve early on. If successful, this could lead to fewer games per set and potentially an early conclusion to the match. Conversely, Peck’s tactical gameplay could see him extending rallies and testing Baker’s endurance, possibly leading to longer sets if he can hold his serve consistently.
