The secondary sheet consulted indicates a 2026 indoor record of 6–0 for Shelton and 6–5 for Kym, without providing detailed serving, returning, or match-duration statistics. Shelton has a ranking and probable experience advantage; Kym can rely on greater immediate freshness and a favorable local context, whose sporting effect remains unmeasured.
