✓ Both players have exceeded this duration mark in 80% of their respective hard court matches this season
✓ The slower evening conditions will extend rallies and reduce the effectiveness of first-strike tennis
✓ Djokovic’s recent fitness concerns suggest he may pace himself more carefully, extending the overall match duration
✓ Korda’s improved serving (averaging 12 aces per match) will lead to more service holds and potentially tiebreaks, increasing duration
