Astra Sharma – Anna Tikhonova

Astra Sharma and Anastasia Tikhonova are scheduled to compete in the WTA Midland tournament on November 7, 2024. Their prior meeting on October 27, 2024, resulted in Tikhonova securing a victory with a score of 2-1, reflecting a fiercely competitive matchup. Historically, these players have faced each other only once, with Tikhonova holding the advantage in their head-to-head record.
Both players might contemplate utilising the serve-and-volley strategy, a tactic that is increasingly rare among contemporary athletes. This unique strategy could add an element of surprise to their match, potentially influencing the outcome. Recent performances indicate that Tikhonova has demonstrated marginally superior statistics, achieving an average of 0.67 sets and 18 games per match, in contrast to Sharma’s 0.5 sets and 10 games.

Astra Sharma: In her last 10 matches, she has secured 3 victories, with an average of 22.5 games played per match.
Anastasia Tikhonova: In her last 10 matches, she has achieved 6 victories, with an average of 22.7 games played per match.
Considering the intense competition and the potential for prolonged rallies, wagering on over 21 games in this match is a well-founded prediction. This anticipation of extended play adds to the thrill of the match.
