Evaluating recent performances, both players display similar strengths when it comes to returning second serves. However, Zabolotnaia shows an edge with a higher percentage in second serve success and breakpoint conversion.

Both players prefer clay, but Zabolotnaia has a distinct advantage on hard courts. Moreover, the ability to win deciding sets greatly favors Zabolotnaia, which could be crucial in tightly contested matches.

While Xibilia holds her own when returning first serves, the more comprehensive record of Zabolotnaia, coupled with her tougher competition over the past year, positions her as the more likely candidate to triumph.
