The read

Lys's propensity for double faults combined with Shnaider's moderate rate makes over 7.5 double faults plausible, especially on grass where serving can be riskier.

• Shnaider's double-fault rate is 4.0%, averaging around 2.5 per match.

The read

Grass courts tend to increase ace counts, and Shnaider's higher ace rate suggests the total could exceed 4.5, though the lack of recent grass ace data keeps confidence low.

• Shnaider averages 2.5 aces per match (career ace rate), and Lys averages 0.9 aces per match.
• In their H2H, Shnaider hit 1 ace and Lys hit 0, but that was on clay; grass typically yields more aces.
• Shnaider's recent grass match against Tauson (no ace data available) and Lys's against Navarro (no ace data) provide limited direct evidence.
