Sweeny, while the superior player, rarely dominates opponents on hard court with extreme efficiency. His hard-court hold rate suggests competitive sets, often pushing to 7-5 or tie-breaks against Challenger-level peers. Ilagan, despite lower ranking, has a history of extending matches and forcing higher game counts. Even a 7-6, 6-4 Sweeny win hits the over. Expect Ilagan to hold serve just enough to keep sets tight or force a third. 90% YES — invalid if Sweeny registers two routine 6-3 sets.
