Li Tu vainqueur
Li Tu has a strong chance against Sho Shimabukuro due to his powerful serve and aggressive baseline play, which can disrupt Shimabukuro’s rhythm. Tu’s recent form shows consistency, with a 2-1 head-to-head edge, including a win in Kobe 2024 (2-1). His ability to dominate rallies and capitalize on second serves gives him an advantage on hard courts, where he’s more comfortable. Shimabukuro struggles under pressure against Tu’s intensity.
