Yosuke Watanuki to win
Yosuke Watanuki may win today’s tennis match against Pavel Kotov due to his strong recent form, including a 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 victory over Kotov at the 2024 Shanghai Masters. His higher second-serve win rate (51.3% vs. Kotov’s 46.88%) and better return game (48.56% vs. 46.13%) could exploit Kotov’s vulnerabilities, giving Watanuki an edge on February 22, 2025.
