Editorial Prediction (May 14, 2025, UTC):

Analyzing recent trends and specific performance metrics, Gakhov stands out with a slight advantage in several areas. His second serve and return game statistics, alongside his overall match win percentage over the past year, suggest a narrow edge in baseline play.

Nevertheless, Tomic's ability to handle high-pressure situations is noteworthy, saving more breakpoints than Gakhov and demonstrating resilience in deciding sets.

Gakhov's strengths, particularly on clay surfaces and his slight edge in conversion rates during breakpoint opportunities, make him the likely favorite. Tomic's experience against stronger opponents and superior performance under pressure could tip the scales if the match is closely contested.

Given the computed stats and performance trends, Gakhov is the more probable victor in their upcoming clash, albeit with consideration to Tomic's potential for an upset under pressure.
