Editorial Prediction (July 2, 2025, UTC):

Analyzing recent statistics, Graca has shown a slightly superior second serve performance and better return on opponents’ second serves. This indicates a potential edge in rally situations, which can be crucial in critical points during the match.

However, Domingues demonstrates stronger performance when returning first serves and has a higher breakpoint save rate, suggesting resilience in pressure situations. Additionally, Domingues has displayed better overall match results over the past year and holds an unbeaten head-to-head record against Graca, albeit with a limited sample size.

The difference in surface preferences could also play a role, as Domingues is more comfortable on Hard courts, which aligns with the potential upcoming match conditions.

Given these elements, despite Graca’s strengths in some areas, Domingues may hold the psychological and statistical advantage. Thus, Domingues is predicted to be the likely winner in this close contest.
