Editorial Prediction (May 20, 2025, UTC):

Donnelly's recent second serve performance and ability to save breakpoints give them a significant advantage. Despite losing slightly on return stats and breakpoint conversion, Donnelly's composure under pressure is a strong asset.

Liu, on the other hand, showcases a higher overall win rate and excels on different surfaces, especially I.hard, which may not be pivotal if the match isn't played there.

Considering Liu's track record against higher-ranked players and their superior overall match win percentage, they seem better equipped for tougher matches.

Ultimately, despite Donnelly’s impressive ability to save breakpoints and win deciding sets, Liu's broader experience and higher win rate against tougher opponents make them the favored contender in this match.
