Additional Expert Predictions
Given the odds and playing styles, Ichikawa might leverage his baseline game to control rallies and push Cook to the backcourt, potentially leading to unforced errors from Cook. Conversely, Cook’s ability to approach the net could disrupt Ichikawa’s rhythm if he capitalizes on shorter points. The key factors will likely be service effectiveness and break point conversion rates, which could tilt the match in favor of either player.
