On hard courts this season, Jacquemot holds a 17-9 record compared to Friedsam's 14-9. The bigger separator is on return: Jacquemot has won 40% of return games and converted 49% of break points, figures that point to sustained pressure rather than isolated bursts. Friedsam's break-point saving sits at 54% versus Jacquemot's 64%, and that gap can decide tight service games indoors.
Across the last 10 matches, Jacquemot is 7-3 and Friedsam 6-4, so momentum is not one-way. Friedsam has held 77% of service games in that spell, nudging ahead of Jacquemot's 73%, and both have averaged 5.2 aces per match. Jacquemot has also averaged 7.6 double faults per match, which is a potential swing factor if Friedsam can keep returns deep and make second serves play.

Friedsam A-L.
Jacquemot E.
Both players come in off back-to-back matches, and the recent workload is similar: Friedsam has logged 4 hours 46 minutes across her last three, while Jacquemot has played 5 hours 18 minutes.
Indoors, short runs of accuracy can be decisive, so Friedsam's slightly stronger recent hold rate matters, but it meets Jacquemot's season-long habit of creating and taking break chances. If it tightens late, the cleaner stretches on second serve and the calmer play on break points may carry the day.Prediction
Elsa Jacquemot
Anna-Lena Friedsam
Overall indicators tilt towards Elsa Jacquemot, with the market making her the favourite at 1.57 and her hard-court season numbers showing heavier return pressure than Anna-Lena Friedsam. Friedsam's recent serving has been a touch stronger, so a close set would not surprise, but Jacquemot's 40% return-games won rate and higher break-point conversion suggest she has more ways to turn one break into control.
