The prediction suggests that the first set will likely have more than 7 games. Given Nishikori’s tendency to engage in longer rallies and Ichikawa’s improving endurance, this outcome seems plausible. - Tie Break in 1st Set (No): 93.00
A high probability indicates that the first set will not go to a tiebreak, suggesting that one player may secure a decisive lead early on. - Under 1st Set Games: 58.80
Conversely, there is a lower chance of the first set having fewer than 7 games, implying a competitive start where neither player gains an early advantage. - Tie Break in Match (No): 84.40
The odds favor a match without a tiebreak, indicating that either player might dominate a set decisively or the match could extend into additional sets. - Under 2.5 Sets: 71.60

This prediction points towards a match with fewer than 22 total games, hinting at either swift victories or tightly contested sets with efficient play. - Total Games 2-Way (Over 22.5): 56.30
The odds for over 22.5 total games suggest that the match could see extended rallies and longer sets, possibly due to both players’ competitive nature and strategic gameplay.
