Editorial Prediction (December 24, 2025, UTC):

The statistical comparison between Gilles Simon and Kenny de Schepper overwhelmingly favors de Schepper, with noticeable advantages in second serve performance, return games, and breakpoint saves. While Simon has a slight historical edge in their direct head-to-head encounters, his lack of wins in the last year and absence of competitive play further weaken his position.

De Schepper’s participation in Challengers/ITF tournaments and his strong performance in deciding sets adds further clout to his current form. The data reflects de Schepper's clear tactical and psychological advantage over Simon's recent inactivity and underperformance.

Although Gilles Simon’s past record in their individual head-to-head meetings shows promise, the overwhelming evidence suggests that Kenny de Schepper is poised to capitalize on his current form and come out as the likely winner in this upcoming match.
