1. Factor 1

   Court speed

   Serve vs return

   Edge: Aryna Sabalenka

   Aryna Sabalenka: 96 serve, 70 return. Iga Swiatek: 88 serve, 68 return. Aryna Sabalenka should hold serve more comfortably.

3. Factor 3

   Stage pressure

   Edge: Even

   A WTA 1000 title on the line. Finals often start tight and nervy before one player settles.

• If a different player reaches this round

  The whole call resets; we refresh the pairing as the draw plays out.

• If Aryna Sabalenka comes through a long previous match

  Fatigue would cut several points from our win chance, especially in a best-of-five.

• If conditions change (heat, wind or a roof closure)

  Faster or slower conditions shift the serve-return balance we built the call on.
