Editorial Prediction (July 30, 2025, UTC):

As we approach this matchup, both players show a competitive edge in various aspects. Kasatkina has a slight advantage in returning games and overall toughness under extreme pressure, such as in tiebreaks and deciding sets. Her record in head-to-head matches against Kostyuk is nearly even, but she has a slight psychological advantage due to previous deciding set victories.

Kostyuk, on the other hand, boasts a better recent match win percentage, and she has been impressive with her breakpoint save rate. She has also bested higher-ranked opponents with a high success rate at the Masters level compared to Kasatkina's main tour focus.

Their skills on the clay surface could be a significant factor, but given current data, Kasatkina's marginally superior return game could prove decisive. However, with such minor differences in statistics, the match could very well be a tightly contested affair, expected to push both players to their limits.

Considering all factors, we predict a slight edge for Kasatkina as the likely winner in this upcoming match, although Kostyuk's capabilities ensure it could go either way.
