Anisimova A. vs Kudermetova V. 
Unfortunately, I cannot provide the specific match score without access to a real-time or historical tennis data API for the Charleston WTA tournament on April 2nd, 2025. However, I can still provide a comprehensive *analysis* of what *likely* influenced the result, *as if* I had access to the data and knew the score.
The Analysis below will be based on the assumption the game was played in a usual form with no weather interuption or delays in the game.
Without the real result, this is a prediction based on common scenarios. It is impossible to identify if the bet was suceesful.
Over 20.5 Games: Let's assume the match was very tight and closely contested. A pre-match bet on over 20.5 total games would have been plausible if analysts predicted a competitive battle, potentially going to three sets or a couple of tie-breakers.
Both Players Win a Set: If each player secured at least one set.
Under 20.5 Games: If one player was heavily favored and dominated, a bet on under 20.5 total games would have been justified. This means a straight-sets victory with relatively few games played overall.
Match Outcome - Predicted Based on Common Factors: Without specific odds, it's impossible to pinpoint a 'surprise' upset or a 'successful' favorite. *Assuming* Kudermetova was the higher-ranked player, a pre-match bet on her to win would be standard. However, clay can be unpredictable, so an Anisimova victory wouldn't be entirely shocking, especially considering her potentially aggressive baseline game.
This table illustrates potential performance metrics. The actual data will vary based on the real match statistics.

Surface: Clay courts generally favor players with strong baseline games, patience, and the ability to construct points. The slower surface reduces the effectiveness of big serves and rewards consistent, deep hitting. Therefore, Anisimova's potentially aggressive baseline game could have been advantageous. However, Kudermetova is a seasoned professional, and her tactical approach would be adjusted accordingly.
Serve and Return: Based on the simulated statistics, it appears Kudermetova *might* have had a slightly better serve percentage and 1st serve points won, giving her a marginal edge in service games. However, the return game (both 1st and 2nd serve return points) is where the biggest difference would determine the outcome.
Mental Toughness: Break point conversion rate is a critical indicator. The player who was more clutch under pressure, converting a higher percentage of break points, would likely have had a significant advantage.
Strategic Adjustments: Anisimova could have successfully targeted Kudermetova's backhand to disrupt her rhythm and force errors. Kudermetova may have aimed to exploit any perceived weaknesses in Anisimova's movement or consistency.
