Key Considerations: Based on the (assumed) statistics, Michelsen likely won due to a slightly stronger serve, as evidenced by a higher 1st serve percentage and points won behind both serves. Though Tien converted break points at a higher rate, Michelsen's overall superior service game likely compensated. The clay court likely contributed to longer rallies, favoring players with good stamina and court coverage. No obvious strategic adjustment data is available, but court positioning and targeting weaknesses may have been factors.
