How to unlock the Consistency Is Key achievement in TopSpin 2K25 - Definitive Guide

I just got the achievement and maybe I can help anyone struggling with it by explaining how I got it. I thought that it is impossible to get. Consistency is the key here, your MyPlayer will be better and better while levelling up and you'll also have a much better feel on timing the Perfect shots. You need to hit all the time Good or Perfect shots, there is basically no other option to reach 85+ matches.
I played 3-game sets 3-sets matches (Top Spin setting) on Normal difficulty all the way. I was LVL 28 when I got it, so persistence and high level MyPlayer is the key here. The only attributes that your MyPlayer should have very good are FH (forehand) and Power: both 80 or better, so you can hit FH winners easily with Perfectly timed Power Shots. You will also need to learn to return the opponent's serves as immediate winners.
On normal difficulty you can achieve 85+ matches even against Alcaraz or Medvedev, your opponent won't matter.
Each math you start from 50 and you need roughly +2 points / serve played to get you over 85 comfortably. You can hit some mis-timed shots and even make 1 error (hit a ball into the net or a double fault on your serve) but no more is allowed.
You'll have a total 24 "points" to play with the above settings as you should win both sets 3:0. The percentages for winners change, so you should note the following: from 50 to 70 you can have 3-4 percent added for an unreturnable winner on the opponent's serve. You can easily have 2 percentage on each of your serves if you play 2 shots / serve. On your serve you can have more if you hit Perfect shots and the opponent keeps on returning them - but that is risky as you can easily hit badly timed shots or allow your opponent to force you into an awkward shot.
From 70 percent upwards the percentages you receive decline, you can only achieve 1 percentage on your serve with your second shot being a winner. From the opponent's serve you can have a maximum of 2 percent if you return their serve as a winner.
My personal benchmark was the sets: at the end of the first set you should be above 70 and for the next 3 games you'll have the additional 15-18 percent to make. In case you have not reached 70 at the end of the first set, you have a marginal chance to make it above 85.
I should note that I prefered the matches when I started to serve meaning that in the 2nd set my opponent had 2 service games - that allowed me to make more points in the 2nd set as I usually struggled in case I had 2 service games remaining for the 2nd set.
Finally, you need luck as well, because of the following fact: in case the opponent serves a double fault or is not able to return the ball (either the ball is out of bounds or it bounces of the opponent's racket into oblivion, so NOT RETURNED on the court), you are deducted percentages. This design decision is very strange and made me quite furious...I hope they patch this. :(

I hope the above makes sense and helps anyone trying to get this cheevo!

Seemingly impossible.
This game is such a grind.
