Editorial Prediction (July 3, 2025, UTC):

With only marginal differences in their second serve statistics and overall win rates, both Chang and Kalieva bring competitive strengths to the table. However, Kalieva's edge in returning games, especially on the first serve, suggests she could neutralize some of Chang’s service advantages.

Historically, Chang has been more successful in head-to-head matchups, winning both prior encounters. This psychological edge, accompanied by a better performance record in deciding sets, could play a crucial role if the match becomes fiercely contested.

While Kalieva demonstrates an impressive ability to convert break points, Chang's head-to-head record and familiarity with high-pressure situations may give her an upper hand. Given these dynamics, Chang appears more likely to seize a victory in this upcoming match.
