Both Kanan Gasimov and Cem Ilkel have struggled with their second serve and returning their opponent's serves, making it difficult to determine a strong advantage in those aspects. However, the disparity in their performance under pressure and in deciding sets strongly favors Ilkel.

Gasimov's experience against higher-ranked opponents might give him some edge, but his failure to capitalize on breakpoints and his poor percentage in deciding sets highlight concerns.

Ilkel's strong overall match win rate and his previous head-to-head victory over Gasimov further tilt the balance in his favor. With these facts, Cem Ilkel is predicted to be the likely winner of their upcoming encounter.
