Editorial Prediction (August 20, 2025, UTC):

Both players have displayed competencies in various areas, making this an intriguing matchup. While Zakharova edges ahead in second serve success, Lys's proficiency in returning opponent second serves could counterbalance this advantage.

Lys also competes more frequently on higher-level tours, gaining experience against tougher opponents, which could serve her well. However, Zakharova’s superior breakpoint conversion and pressure handling provide potential leverage in critical moments of the match.

Considering recent form and head-to-head statistics, the match is expected to be closely contested. However, Zakharova's slight statistical advantages, particularly in breaking opponents' serves and handling pressure, suggest she has a minor edge.

Based on these facets, Zakharova is poised as the more probable victor in their upcoming encounter.
