🔍 Match Breakdown

Serve/Return. Rodriguez owns more hard-court reps; her first-strike + redirect game travels well here. TSRR’s lefty serve can still nick cheap points, especially ad-court wide.

Rallies. If Rodriguez keeps depth into the Rakotomanga forehand and takes time away with backhand line changes, she can control neutral exchanges. TSRR will try to disrupt rhythm with spin/height and pull Rodriguez off the center line.

Scoreboard pressure. Rodriguez’s three matches on site = rhythm and confidence; TSRR comes off a knife-edge tiebreak — battle-tested but potentially taxed.

🔮 Prediction

Market lean: Rakotomanga (≈1.56) vs Rodriguez (≈2.37).
My read: Slight value on Rodriguez to push (games or over sets). Surface split favors Rodriguez on hard; overall 2025 form & lefty patterns favor Rakotomanga.
Score guess: Rakotomanga in 3 (tiebreak live).

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Surface fit: Edge Rodriguez on hard vs TSRR’s clay/indoors skew.
• Patterns: TSRR’s ad-wide lefty serve vs Rodriguez’s early-taking redirects.
• Form/recency: Rodriguez hot on site; TSRR fresh off a marathon win.
• Live-bet cue: If Rodriguez wins >52% of rallies ≤4 shots, dog becomes live; if TSRR’s 1st-serve >65%, favorite steadies.
