Editorial Prediction (July 26, 2025, UTC):

The upcoming match between Cosano and Hernandez promises to be a closely contested encounter. Cosano displays a marginal advantage in second serve and return points on opponent's second serves, indicating potential to control those scenarios. However, Hernandez counters with a stronger first serve return performance.

The overall win rates and experience levels suggest Hernandez is in a better competitive form, having participated mostly in Futures/Satellites events with a higher success rate than Cosano. Additionally, Hernandez's experience playing against higher-ranked opponents might provide a valuable edge.

Their only prior meeting ended in Cosano's favor on clay, but this may not necessarily dictate the outcome this time. Despite this, Hernandez's ability to perform well in deciding sets and against stiff competition tippers the scale slightly in his favor.

Given these factors, Hernandez appears to be the likelier candidate to emerge victorious in this match.
