People are underestimating Gukesh in rapid tiebreaks

We know that Gukesh true strength lies in classical chess. The rapid and blitz games are not a strong suite for him. But he has not played rapid tournaments quite sometime. If there was any other player who has regularly played rapid tournaments, Gukesh would have less chances. But we have to consider, Ding also hasn't played much rapid too in recent years. Now we know that Gukesh style is calculation and he burns time calculating the moves. But he is also someone who is prepared in the opening more than Ding. Ding literally burns his time to counter Gukesh's opening and turn the game into equality. But if doesn't have time, he will be worse from the opening itself. Its not that he hasn't been worse in this match before from opening but in rapid format it is difficult to form resourseful counter attacking plans which he does much often. People are impressed with how quickly Ding plays during middle game/ endgame phase of the game. But that only happens if position is less complicated and he has clear plans to play for it. Gukesh's wins came when there were multiple good moves for Ding and Ding blundered in time pressure. Ding also finds only moves in the position easily like yesterday's game. But imagine being worse from opening and having less time left. It is clearly evident that Ding has not prepared much opening for this match. If Gukesh plays an opening bomb with a novelty in the rapid game, I would say Ding won't have time to counter which he has been doing in the classical so far. I would still fancy chances for Gukesh even if the game goes into the rapid section. Is it best for Ding if it goes to rapid? Yes, but it is not over for Gukesh as well. I would say it is even better for Gukesh.
