Analysis of Statistics:
-------------------------------------
Serve Performance: Both teams had nearly identical 1st serve percentages (69.2% for Chan/Olmos vs. 69.1% for Guo/Jiang), indicating that they were equally effective at getting their first serves in play. However, Guo/Jiang were more efficient at winning points on their 1st serve (65.8% vs. 52.8%), suggesting they capitalized better on their serve opportunities. On 2nd serves, Guo/Jiang slightly outperformed Chan/Olmos (41.2% vs. 37.5%), but the difference was marginal.

Break Points: A notable disparity exists in break point conversion, with Guo/Jiang converting 45.5% of their break points compared to Chan/Olmos's 28.6%. This indicates that Guo/Jiang were more successful at breaking serve when given the chance, potentially putting pressure on Chan/Olmos. However, Chan/Olmos saved 54.5% of their break points, lower than Guo/Jiang's 71.4%, suggesting they faced more pressure on their serve but managed to hold on in critical moments.

Overall Points Won: Guo/Jiang won a higher percentage of total service points (58.2% vs. 48.1%), and their return game was also stronger, winning 47.2% of return points compared to Chan/Olmos's 41.8%.

Despite these advantages, Chan/Olmos's ability to win the match suggests they were more effective in the clutch, particularly in holding serve and closing out sets.

Player and Team Dynamics
--------------------------------------------
Chan Hao-ching and Giuliana Olmos, as the second seeds, were likely ranked higher in the WTA doubles rankings at the time of the tournament, which is typical for seeded players.

Chan, a Taiwanese player, and Olmos, from Mexico, have both achieved significant success in doubles, with Chan winning multiple Grand Slam titles and Olmos securing a US Open doubles title in 2020. Their experience as a pair, especially as defending champions, likely contributed to their strategic play and coordination.

Guo Hanyu and Jiang Xinyu, both from China, are talented players but may have been lower-ranked, as they were not seeded. Their performance, while competitive, suggests they lacked the same level of experience or ranking to challenge Chan and Olmos consistently.

The higher break point conversion rate by Guo/Jiang (45.5%) indicates they had opportunities to turn the match around, but their inability to capitalize on these moments against a seasoned pair like Chan/Olmos was decisive.
