Editorial Prediction (August 19, 2025, UTC):

As the two players prepare to face each other, Zandschulp seems to hold several key advantages. He not only has a superior record in past encounters against Arnaldi but also demonstrates stronger performance in return games, particularly against first serves.

Arnaldi's strength in saving breakpoints and performance in decisive sets suggests he might push the match to its limits, especially under high-pressure situations. However, his struggles with breakpoint conversion and second-serve return could be critical.

Taking into account past results, surface preferences, and pressure handling, Zandschulp appears the more likely winner, leveraging his return game and H2H success against Arnaldi. The edge in converting chances and handling key moments might just tip the scale in his favor.
