Editorial Prediction (May 29, 2025, UTC):

In evaluating the upcoming match between Im and Lee, several performance metrics must be considered. Lee's slightly superior second-serve performance and her effective returning against second serves highlight her resilience in crucial rallies. The ability to secure points under pressure is manifested in her higher breakpoint save rate and perfect record in deciding sets. While Lee leads the head-to-head and adapts well on grass, Im’s prowess on hard courts cannot be overlooked.

Im's win rate is more impressive over the past year, and she has faced tougher opponents on average, which could translate to greater resilience in challenging situations. However, Lee's edge in converting crucial points, along with winning their previous encounter, suggests she might have the confidence and strategic insight necessary to win again.

While both players exhibit distinctive strengths, Lee's slight advantage in high-pressure scenarios and recent head-to-head triumph put her in a strong position to come out on top once more.
