Vacherot's fatigue is also 348 minutes, but his surface strength index is notably lower at 13.75. Despite Vacherot's higher mean serve index of 97.80 compared to Shelton's, the difference in their return indices—Shelton at 55.00 and Vacherot at 92.48—could play a pivotal role in the match dynamics. Both players have demonstrated strong performances in their recent matches.
