The odds for over 1st set games at 76.90 suggest that both players might engage in a lengthy first set, possibly due to Sakellaridis’s attacking style clashing with Lokoli’s resilience. Conversely, the under option at 56.80 reflects the possibility of quick service games or an early break.
Tie Break Considerations
The low probability of a tie break in the first set (91.50) hints that one player might secure an advantage early on, avoiding a tie break scenario. The overall match also leans towards not having a tie break (73.80), suggesting that decisive sets could occur without needing a deciding game.
