As we evaluate the players' recent performances, strong returning ability highlights Salibayeva's edge. Her impressive return stats could be a decisive factor in this matchup, particularly against Smith's second serve.

Smith, however, demonstrates resilience under pressure by saving a higher percentage of breakpoints, which may prove beneficial in crucial moments of the match.

Despite Smith's strength in deciding sets, Salibayeva's perfect record in such circumstances suggests formidable mental toughness in high-stakes situations.

Although both players perform best on hard courts, Salibayeva’s superior win percentage combined with facing higher-ranked opponents gives her experience at a more challenging level.

Considering these factors, Salibayeva appears more likely to emerge victorious in this upcoming encounter.
