🧭 Match Notes
- Serve/return: Bailly’s improved return games vs Coulibaly’s lefty slider into the ad court—key battleground on big points.
- Tempo: Bailly thrives when he pins rallies to the BH wing and hits early; Coulibaly will look to vary height/shape and drag into breakers.
- Margins: Tiebreak probability elevated given Coulibaly’s match log; first-serve percentage and +1 execution likely decide it.
