Editorial Prediction (July 7, 2025, UTC):

Considering the current form and historical data, neither player shows dominance in second serve performance or return games, indicating a potentially close match. Their inability to convert break points and save break points is a common weakness that both will likely aim to improve.

Despite Zayas facing opponents with higher rankings, the consistent lack of breakthroughs during key points places pressure on their strategy. Caffarena, despite playing against lower-ranked opponents, has a better recent performance rate and shows an overall advantage in matches against Zayas.

Taking surface preferences into account, Caffarena's superior win rate on clay, combined with her head-to-head victories over Zayas, positions her as the likely winner in this encounter. The edge given by past successes implies that Caffarena is poised to continue her dominance in their upcoming match.
